Salman Rushdie is a “magic realism” writer - and NOT a Catholic. I like Isabel Allende, myself, although my Spanish has faded since college so that I have to read her books in translation.

Wasn’t Rushdie raised Catholic?

Forgot about Rushdie. I enjoyed “Midnight’s Children,” but have never been able to get through his other work (Zzzzz).

I guess as long as this is just opinion, I think nobody has the slightest business reading this “sci-fi”,, fantasy, “rings” silliness,,,UNTIL they have read every written word of Mark Twain, Anton Chekhov, and Winston Churchill.
