Pastiche enters where language’s failure to coincide with objects has already been structured.

Evidence

Thus Faulkner himself exhibits a deeply embedded foreshadowing of the necessary failure of language, which will never coincide with its objects, given in advance. This failure is surely the entry point for Simon’s (or anyone else’s) pastiche of Faulkner, since it blocks out a structure in which the “spontaneity” of literary language has already been dissociated into the establishment of a visual, nonverbal content, on the one hand, and a well-nigh interminable rhetorical evocation, on the other. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 330
