The Post-Truth World in Lorrie Moore’s “I Am Homeless if This is Not My Home”

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This paper analyses how the post-truth phenomenon shapes an individual living in an era in which emotions often feel more truthful than facts. Post-truth creates a society in which nothing seems certain or definite. In Moore’s novel, as the main character Finn tries to navigate through the pain of losing his loved ones, the readers follow him on a strange road trip in a perplexing world, where nothing appears to be factual or tangible – not even historical events or death. Finn wanders through the past and present in his search for meaning and understanding of life and death.
