The article deals with the theory and practice of postmodern literature with an emphasis on the need for a theoretical understanding of its literature artistic merit. The author, with consideration of philosophers' views, and the history of literary styles (Baroque, Romanticism, Realism, Symbolism, etc.), believes that postmodern poetics has exhausted itself. Postmodernism made the phenomena with distinct national features which were reflected in Latin American Magical Realism, European neo-mythologist, and chimerical prose, including the works of Ukrainian "senior" authors, as well as the Sixties, and the Post-Sixties authors. Attempts of the younger generations transformed into graphomania or so-called mass literature leading to the inflation of truth, beauty, and good in the content of works. Writers resorted to the "new historicism" or "metamodernism".
