Answer only one question.
1. This novel’s postmodern style is structured with lots of gaps between various narratives, which are assembled by the reader to make sensible interpretations. Another feature of postmodernism is simulacra or the proliferation of simulated realities overpowering physical reality. Cite an example of simulacra in the novel and briefly analyze it. (Avoid using the same examples as other students.)
