Abstract
The concept of Post-Truth refers to a cultural shift in which emotions, personal beliefs, and opinions increasingly shape perceptions of truth, often in opposition to objective facts. This climate has led to a collapse of narrative authority, particularly within contemporary literature, where traditional structures of storytelling and truth-telling are challenged by unreliable narrators, fragmented narratives, and absurdist themes. Literature, particularly in the Post-Truth era, becomes a space for exploring the fragmentation of reality and the quest for meaning in a world where truth is no longer fixed or universally accepted. Authors employ absurdist techniques to comment on the absurdity of human existence and the unstable nature of truth in the face of media manipulation, ideological control, and digital misinformation. The integration of Post-Truth and absurdism in literature highlights a fundamental crisis in modern society: the collapse of coherent narratives that once defined shared understandings of truth and reality. This paper explores the intersection of Post-Truth and the Absurd in contemporary literature, examining how narrative fragmentation and unreliable narration reflect the cultural and existential uncertainty of the 21st century.
