The Inter-Narrativity of "Life": An Analysis of Tezer Ozlu's A Journey to the Edge of Life

Abstract

The present study evaluates the way how Tezer Ozlü's book Journey to the Edge of Life was constructed through narrative and aims to demonstrate how the narrative interactions in the book were employed. In this respect, narrative components and the concept of intertextuality were examined. The narrative of Tezer Ozlü's Journey to the Edge of Life was analyzed using the analysis method specified by Nedret Tanyolaç Oztokat in her book Theoretical Approaches in the Analysis of Literary Texts. The results obtained in this study have revealed the interaction between Tezer Ozlü's narrative and the texts in Cesare Pavese's, Kafka's, and Sivevo's works and the interconnection between them. © 2021, IGI Global.
