26,27a Oxymoronic writing? Ans has been given on the 15squared site as magical realism as a "sort of cryptic definition".
Magical realism is described as "A chiefly literary style or genre originating in Latin America that combines fantastic or dreamlike elements with realism."
Would someone please explain in painful detail how the clue fits the answer because I cant see how it works.

Magical indicates something unreal, Realism indicates something real? Oxymoronic, contradictory - so it seems fine.

Thanks -well done anyone who managed to get that on first pass.

My first thought was Science Fiction

I think that’s rather good, Jono, and hardly less valid
