3.5 stars. I don't know why I keep trying with magical realism genre.
I can't help but draw a comparison to "100 Years of Solitude" by Gabriel García Márquez. Both books have an undeniable sense of importance and accomplishment, of a story far grander than one read can possibly comprehend. Both are tonally similar, with language at once dense and dancing, confounding and startlingly funny at the same time. And with both, I couldn't wait to get to the end.
