Description
Magical Realism: Theory, History, Community by Lois Parkinson Zamora and Wendy B. Faris explores this international literary movement as a worldwide phenomenon. The anthology examines magical realism in diverse texts from around the globe, including works by authors such as Toni Morrison, Günter Grass, Salman Rushdie, and Gabriel García Márquez. This critical collection 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, as well as intensive analyses of various cultural traditions and individual texts from different regions. By situating magical realism within the expanse of literary and cultural history, this collection reveals 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.
