Magic realism is a literary mode that seamlessly blends fantastical elements with realistic narratives. It originates from Latin American literature and is most famously associated with authors such as Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Luis Borges, and Isabel Allende. The term “magic realism” was initially coined by German art critic Franz Roh in 1925 to describe a style of painting, but it later found resonance in literature, particularly in the postcolonial contexts where historical trauma, myth, and modernity intermingle. In comparative literature, magic realism is studied not only as a genre or style but also as a mode of expression that emerges in diverse cultural and linguistic contexts, offering a unique critique of Western rationality and realism. One of the primary characteristics of magic realism is the inclusion of magical or supernatural elements in a realistic setting. Unlike in fantasy or science fiction, where the supernatural operates in a self-contained, imaginary world, magic realism incorporates the magical into the mundane as if it were normal or unremarkable. For instance, in García Márquez’s *One Hundred Years of Solitude*, characters ascend to the sky, live for hundreds of years, or return from the dead, yet these phenomena are described in a matter-of-fact tone. This narrative technique allows the magical to exist within the boundaries of reality, challenging the dominant norms of Western realism that often exclude the mystical or irrational. Another essential characteristic is the narrative voice or tone. Magic realism typically employs a neutral, unembellished, and journalistic tone even when describing the most improbable events. This "deadpan" narration, sometimes referred to as “authorial reticence,” helps maintain the illusion that magical events are part of the everyday world. There is a refusal to explain the extraordinary, which sets magic realism apart from traditional fantasy, where detailed world-building and explanations of magical laws are common. ________ ______ ________ ___ ______ __________ ______.
