"My book is traditional. It runs counter to the post-modern spirit"
- David Guterson
About this Quote
This quote by David Guterson recommends that his book is composed in a standard style, which is in contrast to the post-modern spirit. Post-modernism is a movement in literature and art that emerged in the late 20th century, which is identified by a rejection of conventional worths and conventions. Post-modernism often incorporates aspects of irony, parody, and pastiche, and often challenges the idea of a single, unified story. On the other hand, traditional literature is identified by a linear narrative, a focus on character advancement, and a clear ethical message. By stating that his book is conventional, Guterson is recommending that it does not follow the post-modern spirit, and rather follows the conventions of standard literature.

"I sort of try to read the books when they come out impartially and not make up my mind, but the fact is when I was reading the sixth, 'Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince', there were bits in there where I was going, 'God, I would love to do that because it's so good'"
