Abstract:
David Markson's novel, Vanishing Point, offers a significant example of postmodern literature that utilizes the bricolage technique, a method of juxtaposing disparate ideas or fragments to create a new narrative structure. This technique disrupts traditional narrative forms and challenges literary conventions, shifting the focus from the author to the language itself, and creating a multi-dimensional narrative space where various writings from different cultural sources interact in new and unexpected ways. The narrative coherence in Markson's work is achieved through the repetition of themes and motifs, inviting the reader to actively engage in piecing together the fragments into a meaningful pattern, thereby transforming the reading experience into a dynamic interplay between the text and the reader.
