Two Of Jane Austens most famous novels, "pride and prejudice" and "sense and sensibility" have been rendered into post modern parody-novels by Seth Grahame Smith and Ben H Winters. Both novels follow the same narrative style of both books, but feature a post modern twist - elements of modern zombie fiction in "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", and in the sequal "Sense and sensibilty" and sea monsters - common tropes from sea monster stories.
These novels are considered to be post modern texts because they are parodys of famous books from a hundred or more years ago, time bending is used prodominantly in both books and also the novels do not represent reality in any form; they take traditional concepts/book plots and turn them into post modern comical texts.
