МАГИЧЕН РЕАЛИЗАМ – БАЛКАНСКА ПРИКАЗНА
Magical Realism – Balkan’s Story

Summary/Abstract: From the attached analysis of the novel-trilogy The miracles of awfulness, we can see that the main features of magical realism have been successfully applied in works of Macedonian literary production. Janevski managed to make an impressive fusion of the basic postulates of magical realism with a regionally acceptable theme and values and thus invaluably enriched the Macedonian literature. In order to prove the applicative power of the most important theoretical wasps of magical realism, we also took a literary text from the Balkan literary production, i.e. the novel Dictionary of the Khazars by Serbian author Milorad Pavic. Magical realism, although existing in literary circles, for a century as a built theory, is still in a growing position and is far from reaching its culmination. The Khazar issue is a palimpsest. The object of focalization does not exist, i.e. its past existence has been interpreted by three different parties, which from the beginning gives us more equally accurate answers to one question. Kukulino is palimpsest. Grafts it’s tomorrow over yesterday. Magical realism is palimpsest. It grafts magic onto reality. The result: an improved reality.
