Abstract:
The term post-truth has gained significant traction in contemporary discourse, particularly in the realms of politics, media, and literature. Defined by the Oxford Dictionaries as relating to circumstances in which emotional appeal and personal beliefs hold more influence than objective facts, post-truth has transformed how reality is perceived and constructed. This research paper examines the manifestation of post-truth in contemporary English novels, focusing on The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz, The Circle by Dave Eggers, and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness by Arundhati Roy. Each of these novels interrogates different facets of post-truth culture—narrative manipulation in literature, the role of digital surveillance in controlling information, and the power of political discourse in shaping history.
Keywords:
Post-Truth, Post-Modernism, fake news, misinformation.
