Description
This paper explores the relationship between time, memory, and fragmented narrative structures in modern novels. Modernist and postmodernist writers challenged linear storytelling and developed innovative techniques that mirror the complexity of human consciousness. By examining narrative fragmentation, subjective temporality, and memory-based storytelling, the paper demonstrates how modern novels reshape readers’ understanding of reality, identity, and history.
