Rushdie's magic realism, in fact, lies at the heart of his engagement with the post\/colonial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a departure from conventional descriptions of magic realism--based primarily on the Latin-American tradition--Kluwick here proposes an alternative definition, allowing for a more accurate description of the form. She argues that it is disharmony, rather than harmony, that is decisive: that the incompatibility of the realist and the supernatural needs to be recognized as a driving force in Rushdie's fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn its rigorous analysis of this Rushdian magic realism, this book considers the entire corpus--\u003cem\u003eMidnight's Children, Shame, The Satanic Verses, The Moor's Last Sigh, The Ground Beneath Her Feet, Shalimar the Clown\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Enchantress of Florence\u003c\/em\u003e.
