Well predated postmodernism. More a hippy acid influenced book. I read this in 1979, A genius mad book which I enjoyed so much when a teenager as I did his Tom-Jonesque satire The Sot Weed Factor. he remained my favourite author for years.
I meant more 'postmodern' in the metafictive aspects of what I've read so far (although that is less than ten pages...) I am looking forward to getting properly started on it, just finished Infinite Jest again. As soon as I finished the first time, I started again and read it cover to cover. I need to buy shorter texts.
I'm also reading Barthelme's 60 Stories on the train each morning , nice to have something you can dip in and out of when you don't have hours to spare.
