AB The social and political commitment of American literature has been unquestionablesince its origins. Despite this, many literary critics have questioned the social implication of postmodern literature, due to its disassociation from any type of ideological current.On the contrary, other authors recognize in this literature a strong commitment to thedefense of individual liberties. This paper aims to analyze the characteristics ofpostmodern social criticism, through the study of Charles Bukowski’s work Post Office.At the same time, this paper develops a comparison with the social criticism present in John Steinbeck's novel The Grapes of Wrath, with the objective of analyzing the parallels and divergences between postmodern criticism and the critique developed during modernism.
