These literary texts explore the personal, social, cultural, and even political issues of Filipinos as they experience life in other countries and in our own native land. It is undeniable that these writers of different literatures are already being affected by the cultures and traditions of the country they are in. To that effect, sometimes, they would have the so-called "double-sidedness" on their works as they addressed their own historical absence and remain implicated in the historic invisibility in the nation that permanently identifies them. To that effect, Filipino writers are able to adapt and produce 21st century literature genres aside from the traditional ones that we have. It is but fitting that in this module, we are going to analyze a sample of traditional genre and samples of the modern genres, so to say. As time goes by, the literary genres that we used to know evolve. We can identify a good number of literary genres of the 21st century. These are but not limited to: illustrated novel, digi-fiction, graphic novels, manga, doodle fiction, text-talk novels, chick literature, flash fiction, Science fiction, blog, creative nonfiction, and hyper poetry. Let's get to know them. **1) Illustrated novel** - refers to an extended narrative with multiple images that, together with the text, produce meaning. **2) Digi-fiction** -- is a fiction that is written for and read from a computer and can be web- or app-based (for tablets and smartphones) or accessed via CD-ROMs. **3) Graphic novel** - is a book made up of comic content. Although the word \"novel\" normally refers to long fictional works, the term \"graphic novel\" is applied broadly and includes fiction, non-fiction, and anthologized work. **4) Manga** - refers to all kinds of cartooning, comics, and animation. Among English speakers, \"manga\" has the stricter meaning of \"Japanese comics\", in parallel to the usage of \"anime\" in and outside Japan. The term \"animanga\" is used to describe comics produced from animation cells. **5) Doodle fiction** -- is a literary presentation where the author incorporates doodle drawings and hand written graphics in place of traditional font. Drawings enhance the story, often adding humorous elements that would be missing if the illustrations were omitted. **6) Text-talk novels** -- stories are old almost completely in dialogue simulating social network exchange. The information of the whole work can be read at the websites, and exchange by using chat or any. **7) Chick literature** - is genre fiction, which \"consists of heroine-centered narratives that focus on the trials and tribulations of their individual protagonists\" **8) Flash Fiction** - is a fictional work of extreme brevity that still offers character and plot development. Identified varieties, many of them defined by word count, include the six-word story; the 280-character story; the \"dribble\"; the \"drabble\"; \"sudden fiction\"; flash fiction; and \"micro-story\". **9) Science fiction** - based on imagined future scientific or technological advances and major social or environmental changes, frequently portraying space or time travel and life on other planets. **10) Blog** - (a truncation of \"weblog\") is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries (posts). **11) Creative non-fiction** - is a genre of writing that uses literary styles and techniques to create factually accurate narratives. **12) Hyper poetry** -- is a form of digital poetry that uses links using hypertext mark-up. It is a very visual form, and is related to hypertext fiction and visual arts. The links mean that a hypertext poem has no set order, the poem moving or being generated in response to the links that the reader/user chooses
