s7indicate3 posted:I was wondering what were some goons feelings about Cervantes's Don Quixote being considered a post-modern novel? Is this just another way the stuffy literary establishment is trying to tack another gold-star on the forehead of the 400 y/o novel or do you think Cervantes' genius was genuinely timeless? (and all answers in b/w). http://hispanlit.qwriting.qc.cuny.edu/files/2011/06/Borges-Pierre-Menard.pdf If we're divvying books up into bins then I think Quixote is probably better categorized as "satire" but Tristram Shandy defies categorization.

s7indicate3 posted:'Satire' is a genre and post-modernism is a cultural movement, they are not mutually exclusive. Tristam Shandy sounds rad. I never heard of it before now. Well, post-modernism can refer to a lot of things; a cultural movement, a literary genre, a set of critical theories, etc. If we're unrooting it from a specific time period then that sortof inherently unroots the concepts from their cultural milieu -- we can't really argue that Quixote was written as a departure from early 20th century modernism, for example. But yeah I don't want to die on this hill.
