![]() ![]() ![]() Irish writer Brian O'Nolan, better known as Flann O'Brien (1911-1966), among other pseudonyms, published At Swim-Two-Birds, his first novel, in 1939. Nevertheless, his place in the literary canon has not been given to him yet. ![]() While he was alive, his works were translated into twenty six languages and there were more than fifty studies written about him. Moreover Andre Gide and his writings are known all over the world. We must indicate that there aren't any mutual interactions between Gide and Ahmet Mithat Efendi in their works of art. In other words, literary comparisons between The Counterfeiters and The Observations have been made in terms of the criticism of literary schools, especially the naturalist school, different thoughts on the novel, intertexuality of the text and interactivity of the reader, the mise en abyme, narrative technique, the metafictive and metaphoric communication of the writer with his reader, the evaluation of the heroes by the novelist-character in the fictive world of the novel and the fact that the writing process itself is the subject of the novel, in other words, the novel of the novel. ![]() In this study, some literary similarities between The Counterfeiters (1925) by André Gide (1869-1951), French novelist and The Observations (1891) by Ahmet Mithat, Turkish novelist (1844-1913) will be analyzed accordingly with the narrative methods and literary considerations. ![]()
