Magical realism is often regarded as a regional trend, restricted
to the Latin American writers who popularized it as a literary
form. In this critical anthology, the first of its kind, editors
Lois Parkinson Zamora and Wendy B. Faris show magical realism to be
an international movement with a wide-ranging history and a
significant influence among the literatures of the world. In essays
on texts by writers as diverse as Toni Morrison, Günter Grass,
Salman Rushdie, Derek Walcott, Abe Kobo, Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez,
and many others, magical realism is examined as a worldwide
phenomenon. Presenting the first English translation of Franz
Roh’s 1925 essay in which the term magical realism was coined, as
well as Alejo Carpentier’s classic 1949 essay that introduced the
concept of lo real maravilloso to the Americas, this anthology
begins by tracing the foundations of magical realism from its
origins in the art world to its current literary contexts. It
offers a broad range of critical perspectives and theoretical
approaches to this movement, as well as intensive analyses of
various cultural traditions and individual texts from Eastern
Europe, Asia, North America, Africa, the Caribbean, and Australia,
in addition to those from Latin America. In situating magical
realism within the expanse of literary and cultural history, this
collection describes a mode of writing that has been a catalyst in
the development of new regional literatures and a revitalizing
force for more established narrative traditions—writing
particularly alive in postcolonial contexts and a major component
of postmodernist fiction.
