The Concept of New Novel in France and the Misapprehensions of Persian Writers

Ebrahim Mohammadi(Author in Charge), Maryam Afrafar

Abstract

In this article we tried to explain about the concept of new novel and it’s features, and then briefly reviewed new novel in Iran in terms of it’s parameters, to see whether Persian writers have understood the exact and accurate concept of western new novel or there are misapprehensions, and to figure out the common points and differences or contrasts. New novel introduced in Iran in a defective way by some translations from western new novel, and led to a few works in Persian novel that are not so consistent with it’s main principles. Ignoring the lilnear time, ambiguity and complexity are the common point of western new novel and the Persian version, but non-commitment and lack of mission, rejecting the topic and the theme, focusing on objects and their superiority and lack of sympathy between human and the universe and most importantly, the complete denial of tradition are of main parameters of new novel which the Persian novel lacks.
