Greetings and welcome to Genius Obscura, a magazine dedicated to discovering and celebrating hidden genius, absurdity, the surreal, extraordinary imagination, eccentric and unusual insights. This magazine celebrates qualities that defy genre. Examples of writers who embody surreal, hidden genius include Richard Brautigan, Kurt Vonnegut, Franz Kafka, Mikhail Bulgakov, Nikolai Gogol, and William S. Burroughs. Genres and movements that embody hidden genius include surrealism, dada, avant garde, slipstream, fantasy, science fiction, magical realism, and bizarro. These movements in turn, borrow methods and techniques from even older and more culturally-universal forms of storytelling: myth and fairytale.
