Magic Realism is a modern fiction style. Although it  invokes  a  South  American's  name  and  Gabriel  Garsia  Markez, specially, it  is  typical of  the third  world  nations. In fictions of this style, reality and fantasy tie together but in the manner that reality dominates fantasy rather than the other way around. Among Persian novelists, Qolamhossein Saedi is inclined to this style in his fictions. It is possible to divide Saedi 's fictions  into  two  groups: The  first  one, fictions  that  have  been written  in  Magic  Realism  style. The second one, fictions in which only traces of Magic Realism can be found. In this article, both  groups  of fictions and the rational why Saedi followed this style will be  discussed.  

Keywords: Qolamhossein Saedi, Magic Realism, Fiction, Fantasy, Reality.
