Tumbas de papel. Realismo mágico en los cuentos urbanos de Eugenio Mimica

This paper explores the narrative approach adopted by the short stories in the volume Enclave para dislocados by Chilean writer Eugenio Mimica, based on the concept of magical realism. The definition of the term is organized based on certain characteristics recognized by some literary critics, who also point out its distinction from fantasy literature and the marvelous real. In this case, Mimica's emerging work speaks to us of the unusual that can occur in the southern Magellanic lands of the country, provoking remarkable events for the characters, who do not seem surprised by the eventual intervention of the unusual in their lives.
