The magical
realism genre fits this story perfectly. Our narrator describes his
childhood when he was a seven-year-old boy and tells of the magical elements
set within an otherwise ordinary and logical narrative. There is a heavy theme
of isolation, such as living out in the countryside and our protagonist being a
little odd. Such themes make things like an animated circus tent that wants to
give people money very believable.
The noticeable contrast of the ridiculous with the ordinary makes the reader
question whether their notion of normal is actually reality.
