though i'm surprised you didn't touch too much on what i'd call postmodernity (or is that where you get too angry at Sapir-Whorf adherents?)
i always start out by thinking about post as after as well as against, an extension and a rejection of modernism/modernity... [which might explain, then, that you have Pynchon, Barth, Barthelme, et al in- or excluded depending on whether you consider them latelatelate modernists or postmodernists :) <- really I've only seen one critic convincingly make the argument of the former, but it was pretty interesting!]
Btw, do you have/recall any good anti-Derridean essays/books rants? I could only come up with Gasche's, but I'm trying to recall the more newspaper type ones I read..maybe Rorty? [though I always connect him to the Frankfurter vs French Fries Lyotard/Habermas debate dismissal]
