Literary Trends in the Post-Truth Era - A Research Study
Abstract
This research study examines the literary trends that have emerged in response to the post-truth era, characterized by the
blurring of fact and fiction. By analysing contemporary literature, author interviews, reader surveys, and critical analysis,
this study explores how literature reflects and responds to this complex socio-political climate. The study pinpoints and
examines the blurring of the lines between reality and fiction by authors, the frequency of satire and irony, and the use of
narrative techniques, reader engagement, and the influence of political influences. The results advance knowledge of how
literature influences public dialogue and critical thinking in the post-truth era.
