Keywords:

Modern and postmodern literature in America reflects the evolution of thought and form in the twentieth century. Modernism focuses on fragmentation, alienation, and inner consciousness, while postmodernism embraces irony, intertextuality, and skepticism toward grand narratives. Writers such as Faulkner, Hemingway, and Pynchon represent this transition vividly in their artistic visions.References
