File 1.03
Conflating hypernovels and "postmodernism" probably ought to be resisted, if only because the latter presumes an a priori concern with theory. Willfully postmodern fiction of a certain type seems locked in an eternal argument, simultaneously abject and condescending, with other literature, and with language -and somewhat etiolated in its deconstructive epiphanies.Haven't discovered any other writer (exception Martin Amis) whose essay prose consistently carries this compact punch, and a knack for the most fitting verb. Hope Indiana's novels will shape up to the expectation.
