    How, general a generic category are we going?

    Is Post-Colonial lit too general?

    If not, then I'll nominate Post-Colonial literature.

    If yes, I'll nominate bildungsroman.

    Existentialism.
    "...You are not wrong, who deem
    That my days have been a dream;
    Yet if hope has flown away
    In a night, or in a day,
    In a vision, or in none,
    Is it therefore the less gone?..." E. A. Poe

    Dystopia

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
