Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The contemporary American literature, an era roughly believed to start from 1970 onwards, has shown distinct postmodernist influences. Works by eminent postmodernist writers like Thomas Pynchon and David Foster Wallace make heavy use of postmodernist techniques like digression, narrative fragmentation, elaborate symbolism, hyperbolic humour, deliberate use of anachronisms and archaisms, a strong focus on postcolonial themes, and a subversive commingling of high and low culture. The book overviews prominent contemporary American literary works like Gravity's Rainbow, Infinite Jest, Underworld, and many others. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
