I don't think it is necessarily contemporary, just a story which features magic/supernatural stuff, but in a casual, incidental way without making a point of it: the main aspects of the book are realistic. Like One Hundred Years of Solitude isn't contemporary I guess.
In any case it's not boring at all, it can give a really funny or striking effect; I think it's more subtle and elegant than plain fantasy.
