a guide to modernism and postmodernism
The postmodern "junk drawer"
Hi,
My Name Is . . .
JoAnna,
and I will be your narrator/tour guide through The Postmodern
"Junk Drawer." It can be safely assumed that if you have
traveled to this site, you are in one of the following situations:
1.
You are a student who has been assigned a postmodern book to
read or project to complete and are lost as to where to go.
2.
You are reading a postmodern book for fun and need some extra
help.
3.
You are bored out of your mind and have no life. You are web surfing for lack of something else to do.
No
matter what the reason, welcome to my web site. Have fun and don’t get discouraged. There is a slight chance that you will find yourself “Lost
In The Funhouse." This web page should help you better understand postmodernism
in general and in particular with the works of John Barth and Tim
O’Brien. If you are even more confused after you are exiting the
“funhouse," that’s okay too. With postmodernism, you can “take what you liked and leave
the rest," just like a junk drawer.
If
you rummage around in the junk drawer, you'll find the following
goodies in addition to the paperclips, Skittles, and hairbands:
Postmodernists,
mania, and cheerful chaos theory
Some
cool postmodern quotes
Postmodernist
Help and Reading Historical Stuff That Isn't a Complete Yawn to Read
The
Tale of the Master
Narrative and the Wrath of Po-Mo
