Magic Realism is a subset of Literary Fiction that explores elements of mythology and theology, as well as lightly magical elements as a natural part of our own world rather than as a secondary law of physics that needs explanation in secondary world settings.
By contrast, Magic Realism in painting was closer to the idea of "Social Science Fiction" reducing magic down to the barest minimum, and focuses on political critique of their times. Some say that Magic Realism was influenced by Surrealism, but rather Magic Realism painting came before the birth of the Surrealism movement.
This was around the same era as Dadaist.
Next, I will go into my subset, and the future of my style of fiction writing, as I explore how to blend Cyberpunk with Magic Realism.
