"A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings" is a short fiction story written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez in 1955. Magical realism plays a major part in this story by the use of fantasy of an old man being portrayed as an angel who has come to create miracles to a family along with many other believers. ...

Marquez does lose me in the very last part when he talks about the angel being an annoyance in Elisendas life. ... An old man who is an angel? ...
Magical realism plays a major part in this story by the use of fantasy of an old man being portrayed as an angel who has come to create miracles in a family a long with many other believers.
