Po-mo

"This is also becoming very po-mo that we've got ahead of ourselves and we've skipped over some of your fiction."

"If anyone should edit a book of Po-Mo texts ("innovative fiction, comic book art, unique graphics, and various unclassifiable texts written by the most radical, subversive literary talents of the postmodern new wave") it's probably Larry McCaffery, and his Avant-Pop: Fiction For A Daydream Nation (Fiction Collective Two, $7) doesn't disappoint."

"Po-mo has lost its grip. We can't seem to get enough mid-century modern in design, advertising and furniture (those 1929 Barcelona chairs by Mies are perennially chic)."

"Describing his design as 'an eclectic composition', he had not yet heard of Post-Modernism, but this project featured in an exhibition on the subject. Andreas Papadakis, who took over the magazine Architectural Design in the 1970s and published many of the pioneers of Po-Mo, said: 'The true revolution of the 1970s was a revolution of ideas'. Papadakis asserted that: 'The battle of Po-Mo has been won."
