Sketch of the “Magic Realism” Lineage

1. 1949 — Carpentier: names lo real maravilloso (“the marvelous real”).
2. 1955 — Rulfo: earthy, mythical surreal of Pedro Páramo.
3. 1963 — Cortázar: reader-active avant-garde structure in Hopscotch.
4. 1963/66/69 — Vargas Llosa: urban modernity & polyphony refined.
5. 1967 — García Márquez: synthesis and global breakout with One Hundred Years of Solitude.
6. 1969–82 — European/U.S. prizes → Nobel recognition.

Internal Linking / Reader Flow

• Add a “Global Movements Compared” section to your Decadent / Symbolist article and interlink both ways.
• Contrast: Symbolism’s “marvel as coded symbol” vs. Boom’s “marvel within reality (lo real maravilloso).”
• Create short author cards (bio + key awards) and link them from each row of the timeline.

“Latin American Literature — Recommendations” (Starter 5)

• One Hundred Years of Solitude — broad appeal; strong prize pedigree for external validation.
• Pedro Páramo — short and dense; a pre-Boom foundation text.
• Hopscotch — structural innovation; good for discussion hooks (incl. award trivia).
• The Green House — award-backed; leads naturally to Vargas Llosa’s later works.
• The Death of Artemio Cruz — tie-in to the Cervantes Prize for author-focused navigation.
