i don't know. i haven't read growth of the soil yet. they sound like pretty books different based on wikipedia summaries. i'm going to read growth of the soil next year, probably. i'd say give it.a shot.

to be honest i ignore postmodern theory and postmodern philosophy because frankly i don't care what they have to say. they don't increase my enjoyment of the work, so they aren't useful as critics.

as for postmodern literature itself, its fun for a while but gets tedious. i binged out on authors like pynchon and brautigan in my mid-twenties and enjoyed them for a while. now that i'm in my thirties i prefer books with stories and characters where everything isn't all wacky and zany. it's like eating too much sugar - eventually you want something heartier and healthier.

the bible

that's because compilations/anthologies are almost always shit. same goes for lit mags. single author collections are the only good way to enjoy short stories other than project gutenberg for old stuff
