So while I’m sure this book will probably have a really interesting spin, or so I hope, I must say I’m still way too confused to write something interesting or creative about it as of now. What I will try to focus on are some of the underlying things I found fascinating.
First I’m going to [...]

Brian McHale- Postmodernist Fiction
Posted in Postmodernism on October 22, 2007 | 3 Comments »
This is based on Chapter 1, entitled, “From Modernist to Postmodernist Fiction: Change of Dominant” of the book:
McHale, Brian. Postmodernist Fiction. London: Routledge, 2001.
McHale begins by giving us the opinions of a few other authors on how they feel towards postmodernism. He quotes John Barth, a familiar face, as saying of postmodernism that the [...]
Galatea 2.2

To get a good look at the author/character of this novel, Richard Powers himself (which by the way reminds me of an old soap opera shot!)! So this novel is really interesting…I don’t even know where to begin with this because I had to reread the first 48 pages just to gain a basic understanding [...]

After yesterdays class and our discussion of Nikki Lee I can’t help but focus on the subject object aspect of her photos we were discussing. To focus on one photo in particular the Hispanic Project photo,
I found it difficult to tell the difference between the subject and object. I feel as thought [...]

Part I
One idea I noticed reoccurring in my posts was how the authors we have read use form in interesting ways, often times with narration. I guess this both intrigues and frustrates me because I really seem to like the different, unsteady form of postmodernism that doesn’t need to bind itself with rules, but [...]
Cindy Sherman Film Stills

In sticking with the film stills we viewed in class and although I also thought of and agreed with some of the possible narratives we applied to those film still, the entire time I was looking at those black and white photographs I was constantly reminded of Hitchcock films. After giving this Hitchcock idea [...]
The end of Fight Club

The end of this novel was really interesting. I think I liked the ending of the novel much better than the movie. With the movie, the audience is left questioning what will happen next to the narrator and Marla. In the novel, however, the narrator is happy in his little world with “God” behind his [...]
Fight Club the novel #2

In the second part of the novel, the differences from the movie stand out a lot more. It seems as though the relationship between Tyler and the narrator is a bit clearer in the novel and I like it a lot more. There are certain instances within the novel where it becomes clear to me [...]
Fight Club the novel

I really enjoy reading this book. There are so many things that can be discussed and it’s interesting to me to see what parts are different from the movie. I’m going to try and focus on one thing that I feel like I need cleared up a little. I noticed that in [...]
