Welcome to modern literature. If you can understand what they are saying, then it isn't any good. It's like abstract art applied to words.

  Except that the current vogue in modern literature is hyper-realist memoiristic writing which eschews the Moderist approach of purpled prose in favor of more intimate relations between characters without overbearing literary flourishes e.g. Jonathan Franzen

    You sound like you know what you're talking about, and I really like Franzen. What other authors can you recommend?

    And what of infinite jest and Wallace? The end of the last vogue?

  Like Yolesaber suggests, this is a gross mis-characterization. You need to read more and more widely. It's no longer 1935. And even then, at the height of modernism, a wide spectrum existed. Edit: Obviously, reading literature is an entirely optional activity. I don't mean to suggest that you are obligated to do so. Only that to be familiar with the subjects that one makes claims about isn't such a horrible idea.
