According to Luis Leal, “magical realism was first used by the art critic Franz Roh to designate the pictorial output of the Postexpressionist period, beginning around 1925” (120).
Leal says that it is “an attitude toward reality that can be expressed in popular or cultured forms, in elaborate or rustic styles, in closed or open structures....In magical realism the writer confronts reality and tries to untangle it, to discover what is mysterious in things, in life, in human acts” (121).
Characteristics include “plots are logically conceived” (qtd in Leal 120), “expresses emotions” (Leal 121), “time exists in a kind of timeless fluidity” (qtd in Leal 119), and is the attitude of the narrator toward the subject matter (O’Reilly).

Similarly, the literary historiography of Luis Leal promotes the idea that Chicano literature is not at all a contemporary phenomenon, that placed in its proper historical context it has actually been present for several hundred years.
What Luis Leal offers us is a panoramic view of the history of Chicano literature as a body of literature that had its genesis in the American Southwest during the 16th Century and continues to the present.
Leal and Barron offer several reasons, one being that the presence of a dual language in much of this literature largely relegated its study to Latin American and Mexican literary critics.

In his article on "Magical Realism in Spanish American Fiction," Professor Angel Flores proposes the year 1935 as marking the birth of magical realism.’ For Flores, Jorge Luis Borges’ book A Universal History of Infamy, which appeared that year, marks the new trend in Hispanic American narrative.
According to Flores, Borges’ work reflects the influence of Kafka, whose stories the author of the Aleph had translated and published two years earlier.

While reading these essays and finding some research on magical realism, I found that many people have many different views on what magical realism is. By doing research, I have found that it can mean many different things, and it is exciting to learn about something as interesting as magical realism is.
In Luis Leal's essay, I learned that Roh explained the origin of the term by saying that with the word "magical," as opposed to "mystical," he wanted to emphasize that the mystery does not descend to the represented world, but rather hides and palpitates behind it (120-121).
It was used to describe the prose fiction of Jorge Luis Borges in Argentina, as well as the work writers such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez in Colombia, Gunter Grass n Germany, and John Fowles in England.
