Le réalisme magique; suivi de, Nouvelles orientales et désorientées /

Created in 1925 by the art critic Franz Roh, the term magic realism originally meant a form of post-expressionist painting. Soon thereafter, writers such as Massimo Bontempelli, Johan Daisne, and Franz Hellens applied it to literature and made it a genre combining elements of realism with a fantastic inner world. It is that "interiority" which distinguishes magic realism from conventional fantastic literature. With Alejo Carpentier's "real maravilloso", this interiority takes on collective dimension and that is perhaps why magic realism is nowadays linked to South American fiction. The second part of this thesis is made up of short stories, most of which are inspired by magic realism.
