Realism

More From Manuel Puig

When people use the term magic realism, usually they only mean 'magic' and they don't hear 'realism', whereas the way in which magic realism actually works is for the magic to be rooted in the real. it's both things. it's not just a fairytale moment. it's the surrealism that arises out of the real.
Real Mean People

Depression presents itself as a realism regarding the rottenness of the world in general and the rottenness of your life in particular. but the realism is merely a mask for depression's actual essence, which is an overwhelming estrangement from humanity. the more persuaded you are of your unique access to the rottenness, the more afraid you become of engaging with the world; and the less you engage with the world, the more perfidiously happy-faced the rest of humanity seems for continuing to engage with it.
Depression Unique Essence
Depression, when it's clinical, is not a metaphor. it runs in families, and it's known to respond to medication and to counseling. however truly you believe there's a sickness to existence that can never be cured, if you're depressed you will sooner or later surrender and say: i just don't want to feel bad anymore. the shift from depressive realism to tragic realism, from being immobilized by darkness to being sustained by it, thus strangely seems to require believing in the possibility of a cure.

I refer to jet lag as 'jet-psychosis - there's an old saying that the spirit cannot move faster than a camel.
Moving Psychosis Camels
The sufferings of neurosis and psychosis are for us a schooling in the passions of the soul, just as the beam of the psychoanalytic scales, when we calculate the tilt of its threat to entire communities, provides us with an indication of the deadening of the passions in society.
