POSTMODERNISM
An outgrowth of (and reaction to) modernism that further questions the idea
of an ultimately knowable truth by analyzing the way in which the mind
comes to know and perceive as a process of understanding. Frequently,
postmodern literature plays with the concepts and expectations of forms, as
in short stories that acknowledge that they are a fiction, or a storyteller who
interrupts to remind you that he is telling a story.
