| Description | The article argues that the attractions of fragmentation, temporal disorder, pastiche, myth and fantasy or the mixing of genres are all part of the essential postmodern playfulness which is present in texts ranging from experimental to seemingly traditionally realistic and in tune with the postmodern sense of multiplicity, erosion of authority and permeability of all kinds of boundaries. |
