academia lost

I'm 4,567 words into it, and already my brain hurts. This is entirely because I'm avoiding the postmodernist bits, and I know that I need to tackle them at some point. They're just sitting there, glaring at me, all bright red and in block capitals, waiting for me to turn them into actual points. When did postmodernism get so difficult? I remember back when I found it the most natural thing in the world.
