"Perhaps the most eloquent and polemical of the recent public responses has been that of Tom Wolfe in his From Bauhaus to Our House, which opens with the wonderfully parodic American lament with which I began this section."--A Poetics of Postmodernism (1988) Linda Hutcheon


"By analogy, what would characterize postmodernism in fiction would be what I here call “historiographic metafiction,” those popular paradoxical works like García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, Grass’s The Tin Drum, Fowles’s A Maggot, Doctorow’s Loon Lake, Reed’s The Terrible Twos, Kingston’s The Woman Warrior, Findley’s Famous Last Words, Rushdie’s Shame, and the list could go on."--A Poetics of Postmodernism (1988) Linda Hutcheon

A Poetics of Postmodernism: History, Theory, Fiction (1988) is a book on postmodern literature by Linda Hutcheon.

From the publisher:

A Poetics of Postmodernism is neither a defense nor a denunciation of the postmodern. It continues the project of Linda Hutcheon's Narcissistic Narrative and A Theory of Parody in studying formal self-consciousness in art, but adds to this both an historical and an ideological dimension. Modelled on postmodern architecture, postmodernism is the name given here to current cultural practices characterized by major paradoxes of form and of ideology. The "poetics" of postmodernism offered here is drawn from these contradictions, as seen in the intersecting concerns of both contemporary theory and cultural practice.
