“…as a postmodern literary device, which lets the readers know that they are "being taken for a ride, being conducted ... by an unreliable narrator … so well employed by the postmodern fiction writers" (1991). However, most of the reviewers do not even mention the peritexts of the novel (Cooke 1990, Freely 1990, Kirkus Reviews, Steinberg 1991, Hitchins 1991, Rattansi 1991, Salih 2001) either because, I believe, it is not relevant to their reading of the novel or, the preface and the dedication just do not make sense, or both. One interesting case is that of Colin Walters from The Washington Times, who mentions the preface of the novel written by "one Faruk Darvinoğlu".…”
