The merging of the traditions and novelty in the later works of literature is the convergence of realism and experimental narratives. Where realism has its goals and aims on the true representations of society, the experimental narratives disrupt the norms by their disjointed structures and unreliable narrators. This paper will explore how modern writers have combined these styles to affect the narrative framework, theme development, and the reader response. Using the selected works by Margaret Atwood, David Mitchell, and Salman Rushdie, a qualitative and comparative study was carried out. Moreover, the research will entail an element of a survey to get insights into the perception of respondents about these hybrid techniques. The experiment involved the examination of 36 experimental occurrences in three major texts. A Chi-Square test was utilized in order to identify the importance of the correlation between certain experimental methods involving non-linear timelines, untrustworthy narrators, fragmented narratives, and magical realism and the chosen literary texts. The critical value was determined to be 12.592 at the computed level of freedom (df = 6) and level of significance (0.05). The effect of these techniques on the reader's authenticity and social representation was measured using survey data. Realism and experimentation blend to produce new narrative forms to enhance the exploration of themes and stimulate the involvement of the reader.
