Magical Realism in Twenty-First-Century Transnational Fiction: The Global Supernatural offers a much-needed re-evaluation of magical realism, moving beyond traditional postcolonial frameworks to explore its vibrant evolution in the 21st century. Analysing the works of contemporary authors like Helen Oyeyemi, Mohsin Hamid, Preeta Samarasan and Junot Díaz, this book explores how magical realism has been adapted to depict the complex, fluid identities and experiences of migrants and their children in a globalised world. By employing the psychoanalytic concept of relationality, it examines the intricate interplay between cultures, beliefs and personal narratives. Challenging outdated notions of ‘magic’ versus ‘realism’ this study reveals how the supernatural is used to express the disorientation, paradox and trauma of transnational lives. This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the enduring creative power of magical realism.
