Name of Author : Mamta Abrol

Abstract: This study seeks to reflection on new developments and recent changes, which seem to point to postmodernism and to raise the issue of whether what is apparent as novelty is not a return to conventional ideas, theoretical premises and authorship. Post modern literature is characterized by such typical characteristics as playfulness, pastiche or gender hybridity, meta-fiction, hyperreality, fragmentation and non-linear studies. It has been decreased in the narrative. Tendency to develop new genres has solidified. The meta fiction, which shows norms only to be discarded, is possibly by using a clearly naive narrator, is one wide grouping.
