Angebote / Angebote:

This book aims to be a critical investigation of the modern Turkish novel focused on the textual analysis of four different works published between 1970 and 2002. Identifying subjectivity as the ground of meaning for the modern project and as the essence of the novel as a literary genre, it examines the ways in which the Turkish modern novel reconciles with and subverts the textual modern self. It focuses on desire as a thematic component of subjectivity and analyses the various structures desire follows and constructs different forms of interiority. Each of the four canonical works corresponds to a decade, in parallel to the traumatic experience of three coups.
