http://ouramlit.blogspot.com/2012/06/few-postmodern-stories.html
Friday, June 1, 2012. A few postmodern stories. Below are: "The School" (Barthelme); "To Do" (Egan); and the first couple of pages of "Lost in the Funhouse" (Barth).

Wednesday, May 23, 2012. Read a work of American fiction from the past 50 or so years.

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Junot Diaz. Subscri...
