Does anyone have a working definition of postmodernism? something a little more than what the dictionary has to offer.

Postmodernism; a term with the sole purpose of showing the intellectual poverty of using the term modern to describe anything.

That helps.

A Jack Kerouac novel?

A Lawrence Ferlinghetti poem?
