=Magical Realism=

[|Magical Realism] is a literary style that involves juxtaposing opposites (life and death, poor and rich, etc.) and very often involves supernatural elements placed in a realistic setting. Magical Realism is not the same as Fantasy, which generally includes all elements in a supernatural theme. This style makes heavy use irony and paradox, and time is a common theme in magical realist works. It may also contain a cynical view of life and struggle. The term may also refer to a Latin-American movement that utilizes this literary technique.
