Sowhat is magical realism?
  • The distinctive blend of fantasy and realism
    consisting of mostly true-to-life narrative
    punctuated by moments of whimsical, often
    symbolic, fantasy described in the same
    matter-of-fact tone.
  • The style is strongly connected to the folkloric
    that is still popular in rural communities and
    tries to connect the low folkloric and the
    high literary traditions.
  • The genre is popular world-wide.
