Which word best describes a characteristic of postmodernism
A) Experimental
Developed in the post-WWII period, postmodernism uses unconventional techniques to present innovative ideas spiced with irony, fragmentation, meta and unreliable narration, as well as complex and unrealistic plots. All of these features combined create an experimental postmodern piece of work.
An example would be Italo Calvino's If on a Winter's Night a Traveler in which the plot is about a reader who reads a book called If on a Winter's Night a Traveler.
