This paper, which suggests a twofold approach, will first examine the fish-fisherman-sea
relationship with reference to Kant’s two different types of sublime, namely the ‘Mathematical
Sublime’ and the ‘Dynamic Sublime’, in two works with similar subjects, written by two
eminent twentieth century authors: Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea and Bilge
Karasu’s The Prey. This paper also aims to serve as an account of Kant’s sublime using
comparative literary examples as a way to make what Kant has to say more explicit. In the
second part, the paper will argue that, through analysis of the two works, their constructions
of identity, and the workings of the Sublime in major and minor literature, The Prey rightly
belongs to minor literature. However, it should be indicated that a detailed comparison of the
two pieces in terms of their literary characteristics is the subject matter of another essay and beyond the scope of the interests of the discussion here. In other words, in the second part of
this essay, it is only attempted to make a brief comparative analysis of the sublime as it relates
to the creation of identity in minor literature. It is also worth emphasizing that this is just an
alternative way of exploring the sublime.
