Hi, Daniel. I might be able to offer a better recommendation if I knew a few more things, such as your primary disciplinary interest, previous level of exposure, etc.
In lieu of that, I'll make a general recommendation: Postmodernism by Kevin Hart Postmodernism: A Beginner's Guide (Beginners Guide (Oneworld)): Kevin Hart: 9781851683383: Amazon.com: Books
One thing I like about Hart's book is that it recognizes that postmodernism has played out differently both geographically and by academic field. I think Hart gives a good topography. He also addresses religion toward the end of the book, which I think is better than ignoring completely or having it dominate the conversation.
If you want to read a postmodernist, I think Michel Foucault is one of the more readable and useful: The Order of Things is probably the work that most established him as a philosopher. If you're into politics and science, one highly interesting work on postmodernism by a postmodernist is The Postmodern Condition by Lyotard. If literary theory is your thing, You can try reading Derrida, but you'll have to like playing games with language.

Would David Wells have any works that would engage with this topic?
Postmodernism is an emerging force in contemporary Western culture. But what is it and how should Christians proclaim the gospel to a postmodern generation? In this scholarly yet accessible overview, Grenz introduces you to thinkers such as Derrida and Foucault, and helps you understand the impact of this cultural shift on art, philosophy, literature, and the media.
Admittedly, I don't own it (yet), but this looks interesting:
