Why does Finn appear in Blackbird Tree? He’s been dead for several decades, yet he falls out of a tree in a different time and place, apparently at random. However, given the text’s genre and themes, some connection must provide the foundation for his appearance. What could those connections be?
What other elements of magical realism can you find in the text? Is magical realism, as embodied by this text, compatible with your own worldview? Why or why not?
