Author(s):
Abstract:
Introduction of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in Physics changed the human worldview about existence and about himself. Reality was consequently redefined and language achieved a particular place as a mediator and constructor of reality. The reflection of this thought in literature creates a new genre in fictional literature that consciously attracts the attention of audience to its fictitious situation in order to bring questions up about the relation between story and reality. These stories are called metafiction that reflect the use of fictional techniques besides being influenced by the principle of uncertainty. Shortcuts, contradictions, permutations, excessiveness, being infinite, nesting structure, multiplicity of narrators, unreliable narrators, double bonding, absenteeism, multiple and indeterminate endings are all fictional techniques have affected by the principle of uncertainty. Night of Possible (Shab-e-momken) is a metafictional novel by Mohammad Hassan Shahsavari that has successfully benefited postmodernist arrangements to create uncertainty in the story. In present paper, the effects of uncertainty have been studied in the novel Night of Possible and the different ways of creating uncertainty in metafiction have been introduced.
