<u>Which word best describes a characteristic of postmodernism </u>
<em>A) Experimental</em>
Developed in the post-WWII period, <u>postmodernism</u> uses <u>unconventional</u> 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 <u>experimental</u> postmodern piece of work.
An <u>example </u>would be Italo Calvino's <em>If on a Winter's Night a Traveler</em> in which the plot is about a reader who reads a book called <em>If on a Winter's Night a Traveler. </em>
