postmodern literature

Postmodern literature is a style that emerged in the mid-20th century, characterized by its playful, fragmented approach to storytelling. It often breaks traditional narrative forms, blurs the lines between fiction and reality, and questions established truths. Authors may use techniques like intertextuality, metafiction, and unreliable narrators to challenge readers’ perceptions. This genre frequently explores themes of identity, fragmentation, and the role of language in shaping our understanding of the world, reflecting the complexities of contemporary society and the idea that meaning is not absolute but subjective.
