Abstract: Cultural, technological, and philosophical changes reshape and transform reality substantially into the postmodern era. This reshaping of the real world is underscored in Sally Rooney’s Normal People. Through the selected work, Rooney brings to the fore post-truth storytelling about human-made subjective versions of reality, which defy standard societal perspectives. The investigation follows the analysis of truth, which discloses its diverse aspects and requirements. By analyzing subjective realities, selective perception, truth fragmentation and power dynamics, Normal People validate Thomas Zoglauer's post-truth narratives including social constructivism, perspectivism as post-factualism, misinformation, disinformation and fake news. The study follows a qualitative research design that aligns with the narrative style and studies perspectives by analyzing documents and collecting information in a post-truth framework. This research project acts as a blueprint for analyzing written content by comparing advantages against disadvantages with the path truth follows, leading to better comprehension for readers.
