First Impressions: The Beginings Of Magic Realism


[Reality] Immediate connection, ‘BANG’, Song of SolomonCien Años De Soledad, WOAH, magic realism. My understanding of this literary movement is: elements of fantasy and reality are merged to create a credible yet imaginative novel. Both Morrison and Garcia Marquez accomplish to combine mundane and extraordinary, walking and flying, living and ghosts in a verisimilitudinous manner.

Morrison’s magic realism focuses on flight (motif), allusions to the bible, and supernatural events as major components of the novel. Morrison exposes the complexity of a reality in which extraordinary events take place.
