Hasan Ali Toptaş'ın romanlarındaki "arayış"ın postmodern yüzü

Abstract

Postmodernism, which questions and criticizes modernism and its values, brings new approaches to literature. The author neither reflects the outside world nor tells about his/her inner life in this new approach of polyphonic literature in which everything and their opposites are presented together simultaneously. In postmodernist literature which emphasizes not content but fiction, reality is questioned, borders between fiction and reality are erased, possible worlds are produced, author narratorcharacters in the texts always turn into each other, so they lose their identities, texts are in active play explain their creation process to their readers and expect their readers to share this process. In this study, postmodernist approaches to literature will be studied through "quest" adventure in Hasan Ali Toptaş's novels. Each "quest" in these novels reflects postmodern narration and shows that the writer reaches postmodern narration which makes all kinds of existence possible.
