Authorial reticence Authorial reticence is the "deliberate withholding of information and explanations about the disconcerting fictitious world".Chanady, Amaryll Beatrice. 1985. Magical Realism and the Fantastic: Resolved versus Unresolved Antinomy. New York: Garland Publishing Inc. The narrator is indifferent, a characteristic enhanced by this absence of explanation of fantastic events; the story proceeds with "logical precision" as if nothing extraordinary had taken place. Magical events are presented as ordinary occurrences; therefore, the reader accepts the marvelous as normal and common.Bowers, Maggie A. 2004. Magic(al) Realism. New York: Routledge. Print. pp. 25–27.
