The locked room auster6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() By identifying the similarities and contrasts of Auster`s techniques with commonplace postmodern techniques, we will eliminate the assumption that Auster has appropriated the aforementioned techniques according to his story to forge forward the story and plot to achieve an incredible result. We use Brian McHale`s book "Post-Modern Fiction" to study the narrative elements by which the characters of the story are involved in never ending mutually devastating search of identity. We attempt to display how the recursive structures have are used by Paul Auster in "The Locked Room" to create a metafiction. We try to see how the foregrounded materiality through its disclosing in the layers of diegesis and hypodiegesis and within the infinite regressive interaction of multiplying worlds affects and is affected by postmodern techniques such as Trompe-l`oeil and Strange Loops (or Metalepsis). Abstract The purpose of this paper is to identify techniques of development of recursive structures` in the form of Chinese Box Worlds. ![]()
