What is 'magical realism'? Magical Realism in literature is easily misunderstood & misapplied to genres that are similar, but not the same. Let's learn about this incredible writing strategy!
It's really very distinct & easier to spot once you know more about it, yet still difficult to classify. We'll go over history, technical definitions, what magical realism is NOT, examples of what qualifies, and how to write it.
I hope this guide is helpful to you! Magical Realism is something I was writing before I knew it had a technical term & I'd love more people to be aware of how stunning it can be.
