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