A Postmodern Novel In the Light Of Deleuzian Nomadism: Sunset Park
Öz
Postmodern literature has gained much popularity in the recent years. Accordingly, the number of academic studies about the postmodern literature has increased. In American Literature, contemporary writer Paul Auster, whose books were translated to many languages including Turkish, is regarded as one of the most important representatives of postmodern literature. Auster examines the psychological world of mobile postmodern individual. The writer deals with the mental and physical mobility of American society in his novel Sunset Park. In the novel, the writer tells the story of young people who were forced to live in an abandoned building due to various reasons. Focusing on his characters’ experiences and problems, Auster’s reveals his characters’ inner world.
While investigating nomadism, Gilles Deleuze’s view about this subject has been an important guide. French philosopher created the substructure of nomadism and made new expansion into postmodern world with some definitions. The aim of this paper is to examine Sunset Park in the light of theme nomadism, and to reveal the reflection of nomadism to postmodern life and individuals.
