Literary period

Published in 2009, “The Lunar Coast” is part of the literary period called Postmodernism which includes works published from 19060s onwards. Postmodernist writers typically refuse being catalogued as such because of the diversity of the works. However, critics agree that there are a series of literary features that are more frequently used by postmodernist writers.

Some of these postmodernist characteristics that you can identify in “The Lunar Coast” are the use of first-person narration and narrative fragmentation (the events are not chronological).
