One main characteristic is the blurring of boundaries. For example, the distinction between high and low culture is often erased. Authors might incorporate elements of popular culture like comic books or TV shows into their novels. Another is the use of fragmented narratives. Instead of a linear plot, the story might be told in bits and pieces, jumping back and forth in time. Also, self - reflexivity is common, where the novel may draw attention to its own fictional nature, like a character in the story commenting on the act of writing the story itself.

One of the best postmodernist novels is 'Catch - 22' by Joseph Heller. It's a satirical and complex work that challenges the traditional notions of war and bureaucracy. The circular and absurd plot, like the catch - 22 situation itself where the soldiers are trapped in a no - win scenario, is a hallmark of postmodernist literature.

A good starting point could be 'Slaughterhouse - Five' by Kurt Vonnegut. It has elements of postmodernism like the non - linear narrative. The story jumps around in time, and Vonnegut's unique writing style, which combines humor and dark themes, makes it accessible.
