Magic Realism at Its Best

Magic Realism is one of the hardest genres to define. Combining the elements of real-world settings, fantastical but unexamined phenomenon, and unrelliable narrators, Magic realism isn't to be confused with surrealism or just plain fantasy. It functions best when it questions how we blindly accept historical and political realities and instead embraces the ambiguity of myth and culture without losing connection to the suffering of the real world. Magic realism basically ends up being like porn: you know it when you see it.
