Abstract: To be able to see the world through a clear lens is what should be implied not fancied. Sadly, to dismay, people now a days do not sober this practice yet yearn to make Earth a peaceful place which is just as imprudent as to expect a fish to adapt to land just because the ocean water is prevailing salty. In such age where values and norms seem faded by such lens, Enzo explains the realities quite well by diving into complex yet extremely obligatory philosophies of our daily lives. Neither the world is what we see nor what we want it to be for what change this temporary dwelling could manifest if we were only to think about our benefit, solely? Enzo-a quadrant breed; by examining, analyzing, proposing and probing various attitudes, simply qualifies to be much more than a human because we homosapiens deliberately miss quite many chances to express our inner most gratitude or even abhor towards a fellow being. We don’t even relish the present moments nor do we care to ponder over our ethics which is why Enzo pledges the initiative and tries to bring us back to where we actually belong through dragging us to wander in ablissful fantasy of magic realism. It is both exceptional and warily common to contour someone’s voice in our head and Garth Stein has successfully managed to implement this concept through The Art of Racing in the Rain. The joys, the sorrows, the exclusions, the harmonies and the coherences we feel in this postmodern world shape our attire of being a human but Enzo, in this case, transformsthis foregone concept of ours by introducing us to an unexplainable reality where one should not only bind bridles to the tongue but should also care in uttering even the slightest grain of sympathy for these are the words which shape this postmodern world.

Keywords: Postmodern world, Magic Realism, Reality, Manifestation, Gestures.
