Is it modern? Is it postmodern? Is it literature?

It's a damn fine book.

It's modernism which takes a punch at many postmodern techniques and subverts them, so a jumbled, almost chaotic narrative with an unreliable narrator has a message that God orders this world like an engineer and we can see his handywork if we look past the surface.

Take a guess

lazy

posts like these are honestly true unfiltered humor

you can just feel the type of egotistical "discovering myself and Im smarter than most people my age" hipster who pretends to love the meme trilogy because they are Veeky Forums approved

typically doesnt have a personality of his own beyond "im into literature", 99% of women wont make a second date

It's a classic.

I need to say, "He closed the door." But that's boring. Should I make my writing more interesting? No. Too difficult. Let me get my thesaurus... Okay, here we go, the perfect archaic word. "He closed the porticulumion." Advanced writing for advanced readers like myself!

Considering it is an atmosphere rich story which is trying to intentionally be strange to point out that the only constant in man is sin which is washed away by God, yes, it is pretty good.

yes - Wolfe is a brilliant writer. All fiction is artificial. Spenser, Swift, Shakespeare, Homer, Virgil, Ovid, Poe and almost all Romantic poetry mine the depths of myth and (though obviously before they were named) Jungian archetypes which Wolfe works with. Anyone who dismisses his work AFTER reading it is limited, inutile, and incompetent as a reader, blinded by artificial genre or foolishly believing only overdone, banal, and didactic utopian/dystopian and quite obvious SF is worthwhile.
