Explanation:

Postmodernism, Post-Modernity, is a contemporary process of significant changes in artistic, philosophical, sociological, and scientific trends. It emerged after World War II (1939-1945) and the Modernist movement.  The postmodern literature is the literature characterized by the dependence of narrative techniques, such as fragmentation, paradox and unreliable narrator; and is often (though not exclusively) defined as a style or trend that emerged in the post-World War II era. Postmodern works are seen as a response to the dogmatic following of Enlightenment thought and modernist approaches to literature. Tim O'Brien is an example of an author who adopted the characteristics of the postmodernist movement in his works.
