The Post Modern Literary Era dating back to the beginning of the 1940’s is chuck full of famous writers from Truman Capote to J. K. Rowling all leaving their literary marks on this era. Books such as The Da Vinci Code, American Psycho and even Twilight are books read by all races, sexes, religions, and just people in general. These books have been enjoyed for years and will continue to be enjoyed in the future. There are also many books written in this era by authors who were and are still today great sports figures. These books tie in sports with different aspects of people’s lives, and how they are affected by the outcome. The subject matter of these books vary from relationships between fellow players, drug problems, and even leaving ones sport to serve for our country. Some have sad and tragic endings while others demonstrate the fortitude to overcome problems.
Tying together the Post Modern Literary Era with those books written about and by sports figures could stimulate the interest of young and old. They will be able to possibly teach younger people a lesson while at the same time provide some memorable thoughts for the older readers. Using the Post Modern Literary Era allows us to read about a more modern timeframe in which more people can relate to. This time frame is new enough whereby such modern comforts such as automobiles, planes etc. already existed. The era is current enough to allow the readers to remember the authors and to possibly live during their time frame. I believe this would be a valuable asset as appose to utilizing an era whereby the people involved were ancient history.
