Postmodern picture book Postmodern picture books are a specific genre of picture books. Characteristics of this unique type of book include non-linear narrative forms in storybooks, books that are "aware" of themselves as books and include self-referential elements, and what is known as metafiction. A classic example of this genre is David Macaulay's award winning "Black and White" (1990). This book consists of four "separate" sub-plots which are related, but the reader must decide in what way the story becomes meaningful. The inside front cover of this book, awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1990, states: "WARNING: This book appears to

Harley Hudson. "Saturday Review" said of "Advise and Consent" in August 1959 that "It may be a long time before a better one comes along." Roger Kaplan of "Policy Review" wrote in 1999 that the novel "in many ways invented a genre in fiction…. The use of a racy intrigue, if possible involving both sex and foreign policy, is what characterizes the contemporary form. Forty years on, "Advise and Consent" is the only book of this genre that a literary-minded person really ought to read." Richard L.

Is the ridicule directed against the dizzy genre of pseudohistorical travel narration or is it against the novel's particular religious overtone? And if so, is Lucian criticizing
