| dc.description.abstract | ENG: Abstract The concept of post-truth in fictional discourse explicates the ways of constructing a new reality—hyperreality. As a postmodern literary text creates a pluralistic ambience, wherein any interpretations are possible, post-truth is of great significance for producing the narratives of hyperreality in textual space. Salman Rushdie’s most recent novel, Quichotte (2019), is a postmodern reimagining of Don Quixote written by Miguel de Cervantes to satire the culture of that time. In Quichotte, Rushdie shows a post-truth world on the verge of moral and spiritual collapse to draw attention to the challenges facing contemporary society. The writer cunningly presents the pandemonium of life and volatile identities under the conditions of blurring a line between fact and fiction. In the Age of Anything-Can-Happen, post-truth appears to be a distinguishing feature of creating meanings and writing vanishing reality. Such structural and conceptual characteristics of the novel as inter/hypertextuality, metafictional narration, and the elements of magic realism have been analysed to illustrate how they transform hyperreality in the book. The article primarily focuses on the literary forms of representing the narratives of post-truth and hyperreal identities in Rushdie’s novel through a reinterpretation of the most topical concerns of contemporary issues. | en |
