Just a few years ago, while the professional critique still had much work to do in finding modern elements in literature before the"90s, the chances to look for postmodernist traces in Albanian literature were almost close to zero. In the spirit of new interpretations of the socialist realism literature, this work takes the initiative to explore and interpret the elements of postmodern literature precisely in communist era. Although the preconditions for the postmodern features did not exist in Albanian territory (failure to develop a postindustrial society as the only state that questions the past certainties, along with the hostility to modernity) the postmodernism appeared in the years of dictatorship, as a natural reaction. Modernism was torn apart aggressively during consolidation of socialist realism, which saw new modernist trends as part of regressive bourgeois society on a intellectually terms. Considering the fact that modernism was not able to be completed, to perform the complete cycle and finally to consume itself, we will try to prove what essentially was born at that time, as opposed to socialist realism drought, there may be more of a modern renaissance, a new post-art.
