Postmodernism criticism of the novel of " Malekan-e- " Azab

Khosravi is one of the post-revolution writers that could establish his outstanding place in the story writing scope. By relative knowledge on the Iranian ancient literature, he has employed the elegant and purified prose for narration of story. What is seen mostly in his works is the importance that he gives to the language and words. This research aimed at investigating the postmodernism criticism of the novel of “Malekan Azab”. Khosravi has used postmodernism techniques such as anachronism, paranoia, religious and native origin, delay in the process of narration, language preference over reality, narration of history and eclecticism. In this novel, the writer visualizes the time interval of two generations. Any narration narrated by the characters encounters with distortion of time and disturbance of point of view. The writer has combined the time with the events by narrating memories. Paranoia is one of the most outstanding postmodernism features of this story. In this post modernistic novel, the characters always feel that they are surrounded by the creatures which are invisible and they are able to tease others and nobody sees them while committing crimes and they take revenge quickly. It seems that the writer has used this component for showing the human solitude in the contemporary period and also visualization of the suffocation and tyranny of the imperial era.
