In her writing, Tyler avoids what element?

  • Magic realism

  • Satire

  • Violence

  • Absurdist humor

Answer

Absurdist humor, characterized by its nonsensicality and illogic, is intentionally omitted from Tyler's writing. Her focus lies in presenting reality in an authentic, unvarnished manner, capturing the nuances and complexities of human existence without resorting to exaggeration or fantastical elements. This intentional omission allows readers to confront the complexities of life without relying on the comedic relief of absurdity.
