Abstract
The article deals with the identification and study of postmodernist features in the novel by J. Barnes “The Sense of an Ending”. The article provides a detailed analysis of the features of postmodernism in modern literature, explaining the conditions of their formation. Special attention is given to the discussion of such phenomena as the unreliable narrator and distrust of the truth, as well as the reconstruction of memories and moral relativism. The original article contributes to the formation of a comprehensive understanding in postmodernism as a literary movement.
