Jane&#039;s experiences within the narrative serve as a vital framework for interrogating the far-reaching themes inherent in historiographic metafiction, a defining characteristic of postmodern literature. This article examines Jane’s journey as a reflection of the fragmented and subjective nature of historical representation, emphasizing how Abish critiques linear historical discourse while engaging with postmodernism’s skepticism towards grand narratives. Through the employment of techniques such as narrative disjunction, unreliable memory, and the blending of fact with fiction, Abish uses Jane’s fragmented narrative to examine the uncertainties surrounding historical representation and identity formation. This analysis situates these themes within the broader discourse of postmodern American fiction, demonstrating the ways in which Abish&#039;s work challenges conventional understandings of history and narrative.</p></abstract>

Jane’in anlatıdaki deneyimleri, postmodern edebiyatın temelözelliklerinden biri olan tarihyazımsal üstkurmacaya geniş kapsamlı temaları sorgulamak içinöemli bir çerçeve sunar. Bu makale, Abish’in doğrusal tarihsel söylemi nasıl eleştirdiğini vebüyük anlatılara duyulan postmodern şüphecilik ile nasıl bir ilişki kurduğunu Jane’inyolculuğu üzerinden inceler. Anlatı kopukluğu, güvenilmez hafıza ve gerçek ile kurgununharmanlanması gibi tekniklerin kullanımıyla Abish, Jane’in parçalanmış anlatısını tarihseltemsil ve kimlik oluşumu etrafındaki belirsizlikleri araştırmak için bir araç olarak kullanır. Buanaliz, söz konusu temaları daha geniş bir postmodern Amerikan edebiyatı tartışması içineyerleştirerek, Abish’in eserinin tarih ve anlatıya dair geleneksel anlayışlara nasıl meydanokuduğunu göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>
