While it's not specifically about modern literature, I would suggest Foster's How to Read Literature Like a Professor. I would also recommend The Cambridge Introduction to Modernism and finally Postmodernism: A Very Short Introduction.
As for stream-of-consciousness, it can be beautiful when executed artfully, but excruciating when done ham-handedly. If you want an excellent example of s-o-c narration, look no further than To the Lighthouse, by Virginia Woolf. No other author so expertly captures the inner life of the mind.
The "Very Short Introduction" series is usually high quality stuff. They can all be read in a sitting and are written by different authors who specialize in whatever the topic is. Some authors will skip the details to make it easy to read, others will make it denser than usual to cram everything into a short package. The overview is enough to understand works referencing the topic, while also teaching you enough to know what else to read for a deeper dive.
Metaphysics
Epistemology
Postmodernism
Postmodernism: A Very Short Introduction. Oxford University Press does one of these for literally hundreds of persons, places, things, and concepts. I thought this Postmodernism volume was a perfect way to better understand the concept, and it also provides a recommended reading list when finished.
/u/Magnificrab a critique is not an ideal starting place for someone new to a subject.
PlzFadeMeBro when you are first learning about something it is best to start from a neutral position and then proceed to sophisticated supporters and detractors. To do otherwise is to risk becoming an ignorant and dogmatic ideologue.
Oxford University Press produces a series of books called Very Short Introductions that provide accessible introductions to different topics.
