Abstract


Postmodernism is one of the most important and influential movements of the last few decades in many disciplines and fields of study, including art, architecture, music, film, literature, sociology, communication sciences, fashion and technology. After the Islamic revolution, due to the changes that took place in the social, cultural and political fields, many stories were written based on postmodernism that one of their main characteristics is the non-linear and disjointed narrative. While doubting the patterns of the past decades, contemporary writers sought to find new ways of writing their works. Reza Ghasemi is also one of the prominent writers after the revolution in the field of fiction writing, and the most important feature of his works is the use of a special type of narration that has had a great impact on other elements of his stories. The purpose of this research, which was written based on a descriptive and analytical method, is to investigate the characteristics of narration in postmodernist stories and the effect of the narrator's narration on the process of events in Ghasemi's stories. Also, an attempt was made to reveal and decipher some ambiguities by analyzing the ambiguous elements of the novel. This research shows that it is difficult and impossible to understand these stories without knowing the characteristics of the narrator.
