The part of modernist literature that most interested me was

The appearance of various typical themes, including: question of the reality of experience itself; the search for a ground of meaning in a world without God; the critique of the traditional values of the culture; the loss of meaning and hope in the modern world and an exploration of how this loss may be faced.

The most important aspect of modernist literature, in my humble opinion, is the solitude individuals feel in this world. the only thing the individuals seem to share is the sense of loss of meaning in there world. however even that feeling of anguish is unique to each individual, truly separating them from there neighbors.
