Beloved

Fitzgerald's work is "modern" whereas Beloved is considered "postmodern." The moderns saw "the wasteland" of contemporary life (how are you doing with that poem, by the way?). The postmoderns played around with styles, genres (witness the chapter from Beloved's point of view written in baby talk/think without punctuation marks). They alluded to past works and twisted them around, thwarting reader's expectations.

Whose style of storytelling do you prefer? Any ideas on style here? What did you think of today's segment of BELOVED? Why is the address "124 Bluestone Road"?
