- 782: The School: Postmodernist Ideas
- The School: Postmodernist Ideas Barthelme's "The School" is the first postmodernist story I have ever read. When I read it for the first time, my lips formed a bitter smile.

Public schools are for everyone, whether they are Buddhist, Catholic, Muslim, ...

The camera eye then ... a little Polish boy who lived with his "father" and "mother," two words that hit the students' ears with much more force than obscene words hit your ears today.
