Early last week we were talking about modernism. The term "modernistic"
is causing me large amounts of discomfort. What is under scrutiny here?
Modernism, or contemporary literature? Or something else altogether? I
apologize for not knowing what's going on. A terrible and unfortunate
thing happened to my inbox after three uninterrupted days of failure on my
part to check mail at this address, and I lost three days of mail.
Certainly, you could make an argument for Cormac McCarthy as a rare
instance of nearly unadulterated modernism, but Proulx?
