Abstract :As a countermovement to modernism, postmodernism embraces multiple perspectives and presents a theory in which there is no singular truth. The postmodern novel also challenges the fundamental concepts of reality and truth, demonstrating how the human construction of reality allows for the creation of an unlimited number of alternate realities. The tradition of closed-ended narration buried between lines in texts has been broken, paving the space for numerous linguistic uses in literary writings. The reader is entangled in a sequence of events that generate profound meaning through the use of a variety of linguistic tricks and strategies, including intertextuality, irony, and pastiche. The reader gets sucked into a vortex throughout the novel with intertwining flashbacks and parallel stories. Within this framework, Doctor Ox’s Experiment by Jules Verne is an important work that challenges and redefines conventional literary texts. In the book, Verne\'s use of irony in portraying the stereotypes of the people of Quiendone, his incorporation of fictional elements to enhance the plausibility of the events in that town, and his establishment of intertextual connections, all demonstrate characteristics commonly associated with postmodernism. The objective of this study is to analyze Jules Verne\'s literary piece titled Doctor Ox\'s Experiment via a postmodern lens, employing the key components of postmodernism.
