Isabel Allende was talking to Ben Henderson.
So what of her impact and that of Latin American magical realism?
There is a bit of a history of magical realism in Latin American literature into which Isabel Allende has slotted herself.
But how would you characterize what is magical realism?
So how important would Isabel Allende's work now be in terms of spreading that way of reading and writing around the world?
Has she made magical realism global?
And there is also that curious subversive nature to it in that issues of politics, as you've alluded to already, can be addressed in this magical realism world.
And has the work of Isabel Allende influenced other Latin American authors who have followed in her footsteps?
That's Barbara Fernandez Maeda from the University of Hong Kong.
From the world of literary imagination, we turn next to the very real horrors of conflict.
It's 110 years since the end of the Battle of Gallipoli, one of the worst campaigns of the First World War.
In 2012, Simon Watts went through the BBC archives and listened to the memories of a soldier who was injured in that battle.
Rupert Westmacott, a New Zealander born in Britain, is approaching the coast of Turkey.
He watches as the first wave of Australian and New Zealand troops, known as the Anzacs, land on the peninsula of Gallipoli.
They were taking the shore in all sorts of luggers and fishing boats and God knows what.
It was rather like being in a cinema, and I could see and hear the rifle shots, and I could see our men advancing up the hills and being mown down.
The Anzacs took the beach at what was to become known as Anzac Cove, but the Turks prevented them from advancing up the surrounding hills.
In later life, Westmacott, or Westy as he was nicknamed, told the BBC about the moment he was told to land.
I was taken ashore in a lugger commanded by a midshipman who seemed to be a boy of 15 or 16.
He took us in, taking no notice of any of the shell fire or anything.
