2 SURREALISM “…a perfectly unbelievable story recounted to readers with such a hallucinatory logic that one has the impression that this same story can happen to you tomorrow.”

4 SURREALISM Surreal: Producing fantastic or incongruous imagery or effects in literature by means of unnatural or irrational juxtapositions and combinations.

5 Surrealism in The Things They Carried
