PoMo

I think this is the most postmodern thing I've seen in a good long while.

This (http://www.rinkworks.com/bookaminute/b/defoe.moll.shtml) has always been my favourite.

Um, can you explain to me (by email if people are afeared of spoilers) why that's post modern? It must be to do with the book but I don't know it...

Calvino's novel is written in the second person, and tells the story of how the reader tries to get hold of a copy of the real "If on a winter's night a traveller" by Italo Calvino. The abridged version on the webpage is meta-referential on so many levels that I can't even sort them out.

It's a very good book, too. I recommend it highly.
