I discuss subject matter and technique as two ways to address a school like postmodernism in literature. I describe the pitfalls of simply associating the postmodern movement with subject matter that is anchored to the postmodern era and how traditionalist writing can feature these same subjects. I discuss why we must deal with content as a topic in our study of postmodernism and how we can productively do so. I compare The Great Escape to Inglourious Basterds to illustrate how technique and subject matter operate differently in our definition of postmodernism.
