Magical realism is a literary movement associated with a writing style that incorporates magical or supernatural events into realistic narrative without questioning their improbability.
This fusion of fact and fantasy is meant to question the nature of reality as well as call attention to the act of creation.
By making lived experience appear extraordinary, magical realist writers contribute to a reenvisioning of a culture as vibrant and complex.
