The intermediate postwar period separating "Modernism" from "Postmodernism" (1950s literature) is the "floruit" of the beat generation and the classical science fiction of Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and Robert A. Heinlein.This period also saw the publication of Samuel Beckett's trilogy of novels, "Molloy", "Malone Dies", and "The Unnameable", which enacted the dissolution of the self-identical human subject and inspired later novelists such as Thomas Bernhard, John Banville, and David Markson.1950
