isabel allende is a chilean author.  her uncle was actually actually the
president of chile at some point, which i believe has something to do with
the fact that she lives in exile in california.  her books are full of
magical realism and contain some pretty good human insight too.  i'd
recommend reading anything that she has written.  if you're into food and
sexuality, you really must read like water for choclate by laura esquivel
(i believe that's her name, i don't have the book with me).  the two
overlap perfectly, with the heroine being born in the kitchen, crying from
the onions, and it just goes on from there.  and of course, there's always
the seinfeld episode where george tries to convince his girlfriend to let
him eat during sex.  ;)
