The genre is "magical realism." Magical realism has its origins in Latin America, appropriate for this Mexican author. Magical realism is a technique that infuses fantastic or dreamlike elements with realism.

It is called magical realism. There are many other books in this genre which I highly recommend, especially 100 Years of Solitude.
