Post Modern Literature



Post modernism was first coined in 1940 to identify a reaction

against the modern architecture.it was considered as a new way

of viewing literature.

Post modern writers through their works asked for the

cooperation of the reader to create a meaning for the work, to

be active and give his or her own interpretation about the text

.which means that post modern works do not depict life but it is

about literature itself ,about art, a separation between

literature and life. Many techniques were used by post modern 

writers like : irony, playfulness, black humor, intertextuality ,

metafiction , historiographical metafiction ,magical realism ...
