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.
