Abstract :
As a result of the modernist and postmodern perspectives, which started with individual tendencies, the sovereignty of the content leaves its place to fictional searches. In the years when a detective novel was newly discovered, it was not considered in the high literature, but around the same period Pınar Kür’s novel Bir Cinayet Romanı (A Murder Novel) was one of the most important examples in our literature with a different fiction. The book, in which the fiction of the crime novel is questioned, includes the syntax of the story. The author, whose Bir Cinayet Romanı (A Murder Novel) is totally different from his other novels in both the aspects of content and technique,opens an unusual and a new door to the detective novel type in Turkish literature technically, as well. The purpose of the author is not to add another example to the detective type, but is to show the characteristics, patterns and conventions of this type. In other words, it offers a type of detective novel in which there is murder and a metafiction which is written in detective type through this novel. In this context, Bir Cinayet Romanı (A Murder Novel) addresses the mechanism of the murder novel more, even illustrates its anatomy. In this context, it can be evaluated in detective novels, which is considered as one of the detective types and called as “Whodonit”. There is solving a fiction murder in detective novels. However, in Pınar Kür’s novels, this time, it tries to resolve the fictional structure. Therefore, the problem of narrative becomes as important as the murder.
