Magical realism is a literary genre in which magical elements are added to a mostly realistic world. It is a type of fiction. Therefore, this genre is sometimes oblivious to scientific facts in order to add magical elements. The genre does not focus on the inequality of Latin American societies, although this can a be a theme in some works.
