| Sumario: | Man’s tendency towards crime and murder with his appearance in history, after it was centred on city and problems brought by the city, led to the birth of the detective novel in literature which puts forward couriosity and mystery. Detective novel which is comprised of murder, murderer and police (detective), has been regarded as a popular form of novel because it is read widely and quickly with the sense of curiosity these factors cause and because esthetic language is pushed into the background. Within this context many writers of detective novel have narrowed the borders of this form of novel through certain patterns with no concern about art. However, detective novel, with the use of modern novel tecniques, has achieved a richness in terms of both language and theme by renewing itself recently. Murathan Mungan who produces works of different literary genres and implements a multi- layer narrative tecnique, fictionalized his novel named The Poet’s Novel as a fantastic detective novel and went out of the stereotypical structure of the detective novel by adding fantastic elements to detective novel. In his novel he fictionalized in two periods being present and past, Mungan, inside a life giving meaning to life through poetry in an unknown time and place, has told the murder of many poets and the process of solving these murders through investigation or journey. The writer, in his novel he has enriched with various themes, by revealing that he cares about fantastic elements rather than mind in the process of solving the murder, has shown that he is in a different place from other detective novel writers who make the mind the principal element. In this article, the terms detective novel and fantastic will be explained briefly, then how these elements are positioned inside murder, murderers and the police character who is trying to solve the murder in the mentioned novel will be examined. By emphasizing the fact that the writer especially distorts classical detective fiction, it is also intended to examine the change he has brought. |
