This book analyses Paulo Coelho's novel The Witch of Portobello and its film adaptation The Experimental Witch, entails three major questions: How important is the role of objective truth when engaged in an inquiry? What role does narrative play in overcoming metanarratives in order to create a poeticized society? What is the role of magic realism when trying to dissolve boundaries and limitations that objective truth and metanarratives impose on texts, or even societies? This book aims to answer the questions above by first discussing Rorty's theory of how a poeticized society, and the strong poet, may overcome the limitations of objective truth. Furthermore Lyotard argues that the concept of metanarrative, which is political and social in nature, needs to dissolve. By including literary narrative theory, this book aims to analyze the importance of how structuralist and postmodern narrative theories relate to the concept of metanarrative. It is argued that Magical Realism, which is used as a mode in contemporary novels and films, succeeds in overcoming the limitations and boundaries imposed by metanarratives and objective truth.
