Demise of experimental fiction?

[gp]

The fourth N+1 magazine has bits about both the death of the novel and
the death of the short story.  It's a great little publication, and I
enjoy reading it.  I'll buy the next one when it comes out.

But the long and the short of it is that people will always be
claiming the death of something or other as far as art goes, when in
fact it's always growth and change, though perhaps the state of the
majority modern visual art is rather stagnant by my standards (then
again, how many Rembrandts were there after all?).

And in any case I'm not sure I consider AtD to be experimental
fiction... maybe more Mark Z. Danielewski's stuff, though after
hearing him read from Only Revolutions I have to say I'm not sure I'll
ever pick it up (not do to the quality of the reading - it was great -
more to the content).
