Talk:List of postmodern authors
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Post-Modern = Lame Genre
If ever there was proof that "post-modern" is the most ill-used term in recent academic-talk, this list is it. What do these authors have in common, except maybe a common half-century? Certainly not anything in the postmodernism article, or anything in the postmodern literature article. And if "post-modern" means "late 20th century" than this article is worthless.
I agree with the above comment. I suggest to remove (to begin with) the following names:
- Martin Amis
- Isaac Asimov
- Julian Barnes
- Saul Bellow
- Julio Cortazar
- Marguerite Duras
- Bret Easton Ellis
- Ralph Ellison
- Jack Kerouac
- Norman Mailer
- Arthur Miller
- Toni Morrison
- Chuck Palahniuk
- Orhan Pamuk

- I will agree with the fact that the fact that to get onto this list, all you had to do was write a book in the last fifty years. Perhaps authors should only be on this page if their bio contains the word post-modern or post-modernism. In a few that I looked at neither of those phrases were mentioned--if they are postmodern authors then their bio page should say that.AK1591 21:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Jo Rowling" is on this list?
"Jo Rowling" is the nickname of J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter novels—how on earth is this woman, fine author though she may be, on this list of "post-modern authors"?
This list is becoming positively meaningless.
