Well that is one of the fundamental tenets of postmodernism…parody and pastiche of forms and techniques that have come before. and im so glad you see the stream of consciousness within the modernist novel as a demonstration of perspectivism….Nietzsche’s perspectivism is the basis of my final essay on the topic.

and as for your second post (which i didnt approve) id rather not discuss it here!!

I find it interesting calling it “experimental” fiction, as it’s stuff that starts out being “experimental” that slowly drips elements into traditional prose writing styles.

With Modernism it was different, there was more of a radical break from previous form, but nonetheless, Stream-of-Consciousness and perspectivist fiction is all too common nowadays. So much so that reader’s expect it and it some techniques have, indeed, become post-modern out of abundance and ubiquity [is that a word? i hope so].

On a personal level, I still think I have a lot more to learn about the standard workings of fiction – I’m still learning the rules… breaking them is a little far off for me yet. x

I really enjoyed the exhibition. But it was much smaller than I thought it’d be. They should have put it in a bigger room. The portrait I was most shocked by was Helen Mirren with her boobs spilling over this corset. She may be an aged woman but she’s still got it.

You mean JK Rowling didn’t even get a look in?

Maybe this highlights how people are famous now less by merit than ever before, though I DON’T like Gertrude “genius” Stein. I wonder if she ever thought that maybe no-one had tried her form of writing before because it’s such a dog to read.
Sorry, I’m being a bit harsh, but I’m not a big modernist fan, I was in our module for the time part.
