 A Sojourn in PostModern Lit
by Lisa on July 07, 2007
As a beginner's foray into postmodern lit, this is a fun novel, one which is mostly about character and voice; one must read a bit carefully to connect the dots here--but don't you like a puzzle every once in a while? The difficulty here lies not in vocabulary but rather in arrangment--the main character's innermost thoughts strung throughout mini-chapters, almost as strungout (by stress) as she is herself. One of my favorite lines: 'These people know me. I've been lost in their driveway before.' And that's all that said about that. Anyone who has ever worked as a writer for PAY will relate to the utter frustrations and idiocy portrayed so well here.
