Scholars cite One Hundred Years of Solitude, the 1967 novel by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez, as a foundational text of magical realism, the Latin American style of fiction in which antirealistic plot devices-often borrowed from the spiritual and narrative 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 Keri Hulme, whose 1984 novel The Bone People resembles classic magical realist novels in its juxtaposition of literary realism with cultural traditions-namely, those of the Maori, the Indigenous people of New Zealand.

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

"While The Bone People alternates between realistic and antirealistic modes of representation, details suggesting the influence of Maori cultural traditions nevertheless occur throughout the novel."

"Although Maori cultural traditions clearly inform the style and occasionally antirealistic plot of The Bone People, the novel also shows the inarguable influence of the magical realist tradition of Latin America."

"The logic of the realistic plot of The Bone People is repeatedly and productively disrupted by the presence of imagery and situations drawn from Maori cultural traditions."

"Like many works in the Latin American magical realist tradition, The Bone People is indebted to antirealistic elements in the cultural traditions of the Maori, the Indigenous people of New Zealand."
