McHale has brief sections on "the science-fictionalization of postmodernism" and "the postmodernization of science fiction" as well as talking about the fantastic throughout. He writes in a pretty engaging way (although it helps to have a dictionary handy) and added a number of books to a potential reading list. Even though I'm not sure I have the patience for "high" postmodernist fiction (the games get old for me), I greatly appreciate the postmodern push towards fragmented storytelling and hearing voices that historically have been silenced.

(I'll probably have to ILL it, but that's okay. It's my job.) Have a great vacation! The McHale book sounds interesting, although I haven’t read that many of those authors either.
