why cant you use simpons stuff? a couple people in my school are doing it?

janette turner hospital short stories are good for postmodernism
so is don de lilo's stuff (novels, but they are short)
im doin dead doll humility by cathy acker (a poem)
you could also find some feminist writing (you know of the type williamson satorises in DWM)

im using dead doll humility as well

but yeah, i think simpsons stuff would be looked down on.. i mean yes, at a stretch, it is postmodern, but so is everything on tv these days. i think what the markers are looking for is something which espouses po-mo concepts etc in a more 'intellectual' :)rolleyes: ) way

blahhh I am now in a panic too. My school chose crime fiction - I totally hate it and haven't watched the movie or read the novel in entirety because they're just so fucking boring.
And so, being totally irrational, I think I will do pomo in the hope of actually getting some marks in the exam.
Ohhhh tomorrow is going to be baaaaaaaad.

DIE CRIME FICTION YOU ARE SHIT.
