Puzzling Time-flux and Magical Realism in Pedro Paramo

Abstract
Mexican literary doyen Juan Rulfo has exercised several techniques in Pedro Páramo which the later critics have recognised and appreciated as important magic realistic traits or characteristics. An important one among them is the puzzling Time-flux of events. However, we have not so far noticed any detailed analysis of Rulfo’s technique of puzzling Time-flux of events and its contribution to magical realism. This essay is an attempt to analyse the puzzle of the movement of time along the chronicles or events of the novel Pedro Paramo and an evaluation of the contribution of this puzzle to the narrative mode called magical realism. Keywords - Magical Realism, Uncanny, Time-flux, Narrative Mode
