2014: The Death of the Postmodern Novel and the Rise of Autofiction - Flavorwire

[Mark Kohut]

Despite this guy's characterization, I still think Pynchon is a late Modernist.
But others even on this list call him a postmodernist.

The term has been flashbacked definitionally to include another great
Englsih novel, Tristram Shandy.
A novel that is all in the digressions. (the great Samuel Johnson,
wrong this time (as Wood will be with
Pynchon) ) said it wouldn't last.."nothing odd will last".

Man,  is M &D all in the digressions or isn't it?
