While not normally called postmodern, I'm a big Raymond Carver fan and his style is postmodern. What We Talk About When We Talk About Love is one of the best books ever written. I love his sparse sentences and I actually try to write academic works in a Carver-esque manner. :blush:

FWIW "Carver-esque" really means "Lish-esque". Carver's original drafts are very different from what his editor turned them into, here's a good article on it: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/12/24/071224fa_fact?currentPage=all .
