Abstract EN

Postmodernism is the new flanged artistic movement that has turned up; it sought a break from all preceding trends.

In literature, the postmodern condition is characterised by a set of assorted devices, which makes it contrasting to all the prior movements.

Postmodern fiction as well witnessed an abundance of alterations on all levels, from metafiction and intertextuality to fragmentation and the non-linearity of narrative.

Thus, this research paper probes into the postmodern devices present in the movie The Longest Ride, written by the American novelist and screenwriter Nicholas Sparks.

At first, the study embarks upon the elucidation of each postmodern theory apiece; then it presses on with the analysis of these theories within the confines of The Longest Ride.
