Magical realism, magic realism, or marvelous realism is literature, painting, and film that, while encompassing a range of subtly different concepts, share in common an acceptance of magic in the rational world.
Magical realism is not a realism to be transfigured by the supplement of a magical perspective, but a reality which is already in and of itself magical or fantastic. (Frederic Jameson, as quoted in Simpkins, Sources of Magic Realism.p. 149).n this sense, one might usefully attempt to define the elements of a magical realist text, but this definition does not, then, become a recipe for writing one. At its best, this makes magical realism a living, human, unpredictable narrative structure, one with room and time for everything.
