Magical Realism and the Postcolonial Novel

This book rethinks the origins and nature of magical realism and provides detailed readings of key novels by Asturias, Carpentier, Garcia Marquez, Rushdie, and Okri. Identifying two different strands of the mode, one characterised by faith, the other by irreverence, Warnes makes available a new vocabulary for the discussion of magical realism.
