Scholars cite Men of Maize, the 1949 novel by Guatemalan author Miguel Angel Asturias, as a foundational text of magical realism, the Latin American style of fiction in which antirealistic plot devices often borrowed from the folkloric traditions of Indigenous and colonial societies in the Americas are deployed in an otherwise realistic mode of representation typical of the modern novel. This style has exerted a decisive influence on authors around the world, including Orhan Pamuk, whose 2001 novel My Name Is Red resembles classic magical realist novels in its juxtaposition of literary realism with folklore namely, that of Turkey.

Which quotation from a literary scholar would most directly support the claim in the underlined portion of the text?

"Like many works in the Latin American magical realist tradition, My Name Is Red is indebted to antirealistic elements in the folkloric tradition of Turkey."

"Although Turkish folklore clearly informs the style and occasionally antirealistic plot of My Name Is Red, the novel also shows the inarguable influence of the magical realist tradition of Latin America."

"While My Name Is Red alternates between realistic and antirealistic modes of representation, details suggesting the influence of Turkish folklore nevertheless occur throughout the novel."

"The logic of the realistic plot of My Name Is Red is repeatedly and productively disrupted by the presence of imagery and situations drawn from Turkish folklore."
