The term, Magic Realism, has been used to describe a number of different literary works in recent years. The fact that it often occurs in postcolonial countries, or in the writings of disadvantaged populations in the first world, is significant. Here is a book that defines the term, gives its history, and explores its use in the novels of Latin America, the French Caribbean and other postcolonial and first world countries. With incisive analysis of the literary works, as well as of critical works on allegory and of the sources that have been written to date on magic realism, it clarifies what the authors intended by the use of this puzzling literary phenomenon. The analysis includes works by Gabriel Garca Mrquez, Isabelle Allende, Miguel Angle Asturias, Alejo Carpentier, Maryse Cond, Jos Donoso, Janet Frame, Carlos Fuentes, Joo Guimares Rosa, Juan Rulfo, Salmon Rushdie, and Simone SchwartzBart. This book will interest students of history, literature, and of the phenomenon of colonialism, as well as more casual readers of today's literature.
