One Grand Conceit

Sometimes a postmodernist will start with a completely mind-blowing premise for a work of fiction and then will diligently tell that story as if it were the plainest of ideas. This technique, when done well, can be surprising and delightful. I explain the concept and give you examples from Gogol (The Nose), Italo Calvino (Cosmicomics), Robert Coover (Whatever Happened to Gloomy Gus of the Chicago Bears), Terry Bisson (Bears Discover Fire), Will Self (Great Apes), and China Meiville (The City and the City).
