Are we still living in the era of postmodernism? If not, what comes after?

Surprised no one has yet said Calvino. This book made me lol out loud several times, but some of his essays are also hilarious. Gassman is really good for scattering masturbation jokes among Greek philosophy and painful recollections. Also, as another anon said, P.G. Wodehouse is the tits.

Italo Calvino books. If On a Winter's Night a Traveler is lighthearted and sweet while still being interesting.

Currently in about half of this, and pleasantly surprised at how good this is -

most "postmodern" stuff is unfunny, dry and hard as shit to get into (Joyce, looking at you! or look at the cover I posted, pretentious as fuck).. but this one is actually hilarious.

>oh wait I gave you the wrong book, this is the right book, let me translate it for you
>oh wait that's a completely different book
>muh cimmerians
>muh cimbrians

Reminds me a lot of Flann O'Brien's At Swim-Two-Birds (which I've only seen discussed here once btw), the whole reader vs. author vs. book fight, and the absolute playfulness, nothing is serious, it's only literature.

What does the /lit/ think? Or are you too busy wanking off to Stirner for the 1000th time
