Abstract
Postmodernism refers to a literary movement which interrogates the idea of the existence of the ultimate reality or the absolute truth by rejecting the conventional literary styles being followed in literature during the Modern era. The word Postmodernism is a compound word which is obtained by adding the prefix Post to the term modernism and it signifies the ideas originating in the literary world during the aftermath of modern period or the period after World War 11. Postmodernism, like many movements in literary theory, is an unorganized collection of ideas, principles, aesthetic values, and practices. The post World war literature is dominated by sense of disillusionment within the Modernist trends of literature caused by capitalism and World War. It is dominated by a variety of narrative techniques like Fragmentation, Pastiche, Intertextuality, Deconstruction and Parody.
