Literature is generally understood as diversity in human and social experiences expressed through aesthetic mould. Imaginative literature, particularly, gives an insight into the lives and minds of people living in another ethos and beyond our reach. Just as a painter uses colour and line to create a painting, an author uses the elements of fiction to create a story. Postmodernists authors avoid the possibility of meaning in this chaotic world and Magic Realism can easily be understood because jumps in time and focus cannot really be explained with scientific but rather with magical reasoning. Magic Realism is an aesthetic style in which magical elements blend with the real world. Writers sought to present the mysterious and fantastic quality of reality. From the 1960s to the present there has been a strong doze of magic realism within the general movement of post modernism. Characteristics which both post modernism and magical realism share are intertextuality, discontinuity, metafiction, parody, the dissolution of character and narrative, post colonial discourse etc.
