Abstract
Contrary to some critics who read in Pamuk’s The New Life strains of Sufi sentiments and Sufi tendencies, I want to argue that Pamuk, in this narrative, mocks the Sufi experience.

Abstract
Yeni Hayat, Sûfi deneyimi ile alay etmektedir. Tasavvufun temel konuları, romanda mevcut olarak
görülmektedir. Osman, Canan ve meleği bulmayı umut ettiği yolculuğuna bir Sûfi Dervişi gibi başlar.
Tasavvuf edebiyatında, kadın (aşk) varoluşu ve Tanrıyı simgelemektedir, ancak, Osman'ın Canan'a olan
aşkı, ruhani olmaktan çok bedenseldir. Yolculuk ilerledikçe, Pamuk, Tanrıyı aramaktan çok intikam
peşinde koşan bir yolcuyu alaycılıkla gösterir. Sûfi geleneğiyle alay etmek, yeni hayatın arayışının bir
inançtan, saplantıya dönüşümüyle, öykülemede daha belirgin hale gelir. Pamuk'un, sufi yolcuyla alay
etmesi, Osman'ın, yolculuğun sonunda, aradığı meleğin sahte olduğunu anlayarak, yaşadığı hayal
kırıklığı içinde ölmesi ile sonlanmaktadır.
