This article examines the emergence and development of postmodernism in French literature during the second half of the 20th century. The study identifies the key philosophical and aesthetic premises of postmodernism, analyzes their manifestation in the works of leading French writers, and explores the interplay between postmodernism and the broader socio-cultural context of postwar France. The study highlights the contributions of authors such as Alain Robbe-Grillet, Marguerite Duras, Philippe Sollers, and Jean-Philippe Toussaint, among others, and situates their works within the shifting paradigms of literary creation. Ultimately, the article asserts that postmodernism in French literature represents both a continuation and a rupture with previous traditions, offering new modes of narrative, experimentation, and critique that remain influential in the 21st century.
