There was parts in the novel that were magical realism. For example, when Orange juice floated on bananas or when the fish literally flue and the island with cannibal trees. All these things made the story magical realism. The story was told from told from one side which was Pi's side of the story. Since he was the only one who experienced this "tragedy," we don't really have another side and don't know if the story is true. When Pi told his story he didn't go in linear order. He had a couple of flash backs of his religion amd when he was a kid. This novel could be both serious and fantasy. The seriousness couls be everything Pi went through with hik losing his parents and brother. The fantasy of it could be being on the boat with an wild animal and going to a cannibal island.
