Merge

[edit]

I can't find a reference for this use of the term. For instance, the NYTimes seems to equate Kmart realism with Tom Wolfe's critic of the minimalist work of Carver & friends [1]. I would suggest a merge. Pascal.Tesson 02:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A quick search of google books shows the majority of the sources equate kmart realism with minimalism and neorealism. also recommend a mergeDjgranados 17:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think I'm 10 years too late for this convo, but I think it still makes sense to merge this with another article. From what I can tell, it seems like Kmart realism and Dirty realism are synonyms, so shouldn’t have separate articles. I’m not clear on whether Kmart realism is also another word for minimalism or if it’s a subgenre of minimalism. PermStrump(talk) 21:25, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
