wacky and experimental =/= peaux-meaux

This is what happens when your educational system is shit and people learn about literature on /lit/.

did you just imply that i'm educated?

No. In fact, I implied that you're not educated at all because of the shitty American schooling.

"Wacky and experimental" can mean a lot of things.

There are specific themes, tropes, styles, subject matter, etc. associated with different periods. Not to mention time periods in which things are written. Dig into what makes a piece fit into a certain era, you might find new ways to think about something you once thought was "wacky".

you're from /mu/, right?

what does "modernism" mean?

what paradigms of modernity have been surpassed by "post-modernism"?

The biggest thing, I think, is that it's not very self-conscious or self-referential.

I don't even know my modernism that well but to me it's partly a matter of definition - things that fit with Ulysses and with The Waste Land are modernist kind of the way the New Testament is a Christian text. As to what that ends up meaning, I think it's that it's in turns experimental, highly alliterative, satirical or ironic, thematically realist, and - and this is the best I can put it - a development of phonetic methods such as the plum pudding model that shows up in Portrait.
