The first POSTMODERN NARRATIVE of Turkish literature (not a novel, because novel refers to the modern. It is more accurate to call a postmodern novel a narrative) is The White Castle. It is a narrative where East and West meet as different cultures through heroes.
So, what are the elements that make White Castle a postmodern narrative? The first determining element is metafiction. We understand this from the addresses the author makes to the reader at various points in the narrative.
It refers to encyclopedists (the first encyclopedist in our country is Ahmet Mithat, who is also a novelist) through the publisher Faruk Darvinoglu, which is an important element of the postmodern narrative.
Reality, a strong element of the modern novel, is questioned through miniatures. The old and new version of reality is emphasized. The reader is given the feeling that there is a truth that cannot be reached.
The captive story in Don Quixote is parodied through the Venetian slave. We can interpret his style, which sometimes resembles Evliya Çelebi, as an element of pastiche. If we look at it in the context of intertextuality, we can find a lot of historical and mythological characters that the heroes of Beyazkale emulate. For example, Katip Çelebi-books-Now Hodja and his travels. Many motifs in Seyahatname appear exactly as they are.
In fact, at the end of the book, the author gives the sources he used and distorted (used for the postmodern narrative) at length in the text he wrote on the White Castle.
The mirror image in the narrative is to emphasize the similarity of the Hodja and the Italian slave. “The one who walked into the room looked incredibly like me.” “It would make me uneasy if he didn't notice the similarity between us while feeling his gaze on me. "Once or twice I thought he noticed the similarity but acted as if he wasn't aware of it." “Would we look in the mirror together as well as write together?” “Just as one watches one's appearance when looking in the mirror, one can also watch one's essence by looking into one's own thoughts.”
