Bilge Karasu, one of the most important writers of postmodern literature in Turkey, produced works such as novels, short stories, essays, poems, translations, letters, libretto, and sketches during his literary life that started in 1950. Karasu, who mainly writes novel and short story, investigates and implements what can be done for literature in his fictional and non-fictional works. His works of art are results of this relentless search from individual to universal. In the present study, the novels of Bilge Karasu (Night, Guide, Ode to Pomegranate and Fig, Six Months One Autumn), which expresses the world of emotions and thoughts by using a unique style instead of usual themes and fictions, were examined in terms of time from one of structure elements of novel. It is aimed to determine and evaluate time category, which affects texts’ form and style characteristics, with both quantitative and qualitative expansions and to release this category’s reflections on a reality-fiction plane in Bilge Karasu’s novels which have metafictional feature.
