| Abstract | This article interrogates the connection between linguistic fantasies and political fears through a comparative study of Bernardo Atxaga's Obabakoak (1988) and Milan Kundera's The Book of Laughter and Forgetting (1978). Issues of internal and external colonialism and the dialectics of major/minor languages inform both texts and are discussed within the broader theoretical context of the relationship between magical realism and postcolonial discourse. The article explores Atxaga and Kundera's use of magical realism and the supernatural as part of a palimpsestic layering of escapism and politics and evaluates to what extent this layering offers a form of textual resistance to reductive and fear-inducing political fantasies of unity and linguistic performativity. |
