Why is postmodern literature such trash? That goes for pretty

DFW is such trash his name shouldn't be in the same sentence as Pynchon or Delillo

t. I was a mindless redditor who praised IJ when it was in fashion, now I bash it because that's cool now.

I would answer your question, but I can't do so since you force me to accept your premise.

I have no problem with intertextuality, nor do I think that all the authors you mentioned are capable of producing lackluster narratives. I also don't think it's very useful to see all of these authors as part of a postmodern tradition when wanting to discuss the two things you take issue with.

I would invite you to explain your framing of these authors within the postmodern tradition and its relevance to their kind of narratives and intertextuality, but I know better than to ask such sensible things of faggots.

Intertext is good, but none of the commonly cited postmodernists do it well. Their effect is not to create meaning, but to sap all meaning from their narratives by overloading it with too much of a good thing.

Yet you don't see a problem with DeLillo. Who are you kidding.

>>9510183
Delillo is trash too but nowhere near as bad as wallace
