I want to start reading more speculative fiction/surrealism, especially by contemporary authors. Can anyone recommend any books?

How has no one mentioned Isabel Allende yet? She practically created the magical realism genre. Adriana, I would highly recommend reading any of Allende's books if you are interested in surrealism/magical realism. And, although her memoirs are obviously non fiction, they are incredible, moving masterpieces of the human spirit.
