New Media
Magical realism is inherent to video games and electronic literature. Games like Minecraft get the players to subconsciously break down real world people and objects into the component cubes of the game, creating a blur between reality and fiction. In electronic literature, early author Michael Joyce's Afternoon, a story deploys the ambiguity and dubious narrator characteristic of high modernism, along with some suspense and romance elements, in a story whose meaning could change dramatically depending on the path taken through its lexias on each reading. More recently, Pamela Sacred perpetuated the genre through La Voie de l'ange, a continuation of The Diary of Anne Frank written in French by a fictional character from her Venetian Cell hypertext saga.
