This article examines the representation and function of war elements in American and Uzbek literary works produced during the postmodern period. Postmodern literature, characterized by fragmentation, metafiction, irony, and skepticism toward grand narratives, approaches war not as a heroic or purely historical event but as a complex psychological, cultural, and ideological phenomenon. Through a comparative analysis, the study highlights how American and Uzbek writers employ war motifs to question reality, identity, memory, and power, reflecting national histories while sharing universal postmodern traits.
