Drawing on the theoretical framework of magical realism, this study aims to investigate the author's skillful blend of the mundane and the extraordinary, highlighting how narrative transcends the boundaries of reality to convey deep emotion, cultural identity, and social commentary. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. While the theory used in this study is the theory of magic realism from Wendy B Faris. By examining the manifestation of magical elements in the novel's setting, characters, and themes, this study highlights the transformative power of magical realism as a narrative technique, ultimately revealing how it allows readers to explore profound depths of meaning beyond conventional boundaries using a Post- Structuralism as a tool to look into the novel. The data source in this study is the novel The Perfect World of Miwako Sumida by Clarissa Goenawan (2020). The research data is taken from literary texts in the form of narratives and dialogues about magic realism.
