浮遊マジカルリアリズム (Fuyuu Majikaru Riarizumu) ### Explanation: - "悬浮" (floating/suspended) is translated as **浮遊** (fuyuu), which captures the sense of being in a state of suspension or floating. - "魔幻现实主义" (magical realism) is universally referred to as **マジカルリアリズム** (Majikaru Riarizumu) in Japanese literary/artistic contexts, as it’s a widely adopted loanword for the genre. This combination accurately conveys the core meaning of "suspended magical realism" in Japanese. **Alternative (more literal, less common):** 懸垂的マジカルリアリズム (Kensuiteki Majikaru Riarizumu) (Note: "懸垂的" means "suspending," but "浮遊" is more natural for the "floating" nuance in this genre context.) The first option is preferred for its natural flow and alignment with common genre terminology.
