Overview
Magical realism weaves fantastical elements seamlessly into realistic narratives, blurring the boundaries between the mundane and the miraculous to reveal deeper truths about society and human experience. Originating from post-expressionist art in 1920s Germany, it exploded in Latin American literature during the 1960s Boom, with Gabriel García Márquez's *One Hundred Years of Solitude* as its crowning jewel. This genre challenges perceptions of reality, naturalizing the supernatural to critique cultural contradictions and historical absurdities.
