【正确答案】正确答案：Postmodern writers reject the traditional referential of art, so fundamental rule of postmodern fiction is absurd and arbitrary, whose text explicitly concerns itself with the process of narration, with writing and composition. It is a kind of characteristic of gimmicks, playfulness, and narcissism through parody and burlesque. Donald Barthelme"s Snow White is an absurdist dissection of the fairy tale. In this book, the frequent narration is made up of word games and random allusion to both literature and popular culture. Postmodern writers believe that the reality of modern life is too elusive and uncertain for people to rationalize and idealize. By rendering language irrational, postmodern writers neutralize the fiasco of reality and the imposture of history and suggest participation in the chaos and absurdity of the world as the only meaningful way of life. In Barth"s The Sot-Weed Factor, for example, he retells the American history of the colonial period in an inverted direction; not about the European immigrants who come to America to make great fortune, but about the Americans who return to Europe to retrace their confused origin and unmake their fortune. In this way, the author reduces American history to an absurd farce.
