Abstract
Annotation: This article explores the concept of truth and illusion within the framework of postmodern aesthetics by comparing selected works of English and Uzbek literature. It focuses on how postmodern authors such as Salman Rushdie and Isajon Sultan construct reality, blend fiction and history, and create philosophical reflections on human existence. The study examines how postmodernism challenges traditional notions of truth, identity, and meaning through irony, intertextuality, metafiction, and narrative fragmentation. By analyzing the interplay between illusion and reality, the research reveals how both literatures engage with cultural memory, myth, and individual perception, contributing to a deeper understanding of the global postmodern paradigm.
