Magical Realism is a genre that depicts the real world as having an undercurrent of magic or fantasy. Within a work of magical realism, the world is still grounded in the real world, but fantastical elements are considered normal in this world. This is characterized by the matter-of-fact inclusion of fantastic or mythical elements into seemingly realistic fiction. It is about mixing things up, the ordinary with the extraordinary, reality and unreality.
