Are the commas in the right place in this sentence? My brain has turned to mush and I can't concentrate on punctuation any more.
"Postmodern literature seeks to examine the modes of being of literature and books, the ways in which seemingly concrete patterns and rules of genre and structure have evolved and can be altered and, recognising that we exist in an age of lost innocence where creation ex nihilo has become an impossibility, how these established genres can be manipulated to one’s own end and played with in order to highlight oversights perceived by postmodern writers in the texts they seek to rewrite."

I'll be a lot happier in 19 days.
