Magic realism is one style of literary writing which was popularized by Gabriel Garcia Marquez although with time, there was not much being written in this genre. “Conduits: the Death of Jinx Jenkins: A storybook for grownups” by J. Ryan Sommers is one book in this genre that does absolute justice to it. Jinx Jenkins may come across the readers as a Christ figure but with a smooth plot the author slowly unviels the different layers and the idea behind his taking the ultimate step.
Since the book is a sequel, the reader should try reading the prequel in order to get a better understanding of the plot. Due to the nature of the book’s theme, the book becomes a fine read for people of ages and all those who are looking to read something different from the mainstream writing with not just innovation but also a sensible ecxploration of a genre.
