I have to wonder about writers who are that good at manipulating the emotions of their readers; of course, it takes the reader's willingness.

Borges... beautiful. I was going to recommend Borges, but you beat me. Also Fuentes, with 'Aura' particularly in mind.

I wonder too. About how they manage to weave that magic

I'm always willing to be moved but it rarely happens in fantasy/sci-fi as so many writers are cold-hearted, even though a text book on the laws of the universe can have me there too. And wait til you see the latest series of Doctor Who, non-UK sci-fi fans, as at least one episode will wring you dry!
