Sam Shepard is often considered as one of the most celebrated postmodern American playwrights. The book has critically explored the postmodern elements in select twelve plays of Sam Shepard from a literary perspective. Sam Shepard celebrates the possibility of multiple meanings within a single literary work and he deals with a subjective approach emphasizing more on destructured, decentred and dehumanized subjects in many of his plays. A blurring of the distinction between genres, fragmented narrations, pastiche, metafiction, intertextuality, historiographic metafiction, black humour, schizophrenia, faction, and self-reflexivity in writing are the major postmodern elements which have been observed in his early, middle and later plays.
