A Sociological Reading of Mahmood Falaki’s The Fall of the Father of Oil: A Genetic Structuralist Approach
Öz
As an interdisciplinary approach, sociological criticism dialogically investigates society, and literary narratives. This study dialogically explores the societal constructs of Iran in Mahmood Falaki’s The Fall of the Father of Oil. In the foreground of the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, Falaki inspects Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh’s “nation-state” and his trial. This study aims to uncover the relations between social events and the novel based on worldview, class consciousness, class conflict, and social status. The central questions of this study are: How do history and literature form historical narratives in the novel? And how the novel is formed in accordance with the societal aspects of the coup d'état and the following trial? The results of this study show that by blending his narrative with Mosaddegh’s diaries and contributions, the author creates a faction which, in turn, renders his work into a combination of multi-dimensional diaries and linear narratives.
