Postmodernist Faces of Truth and Fiction in Iris Murdoch’s The Sea, The Sea. This essay analyses Iris Murdoch’s The Sea, The Sea and argues that the concept of truth stands for multiple-faced fiction to be interpreted according to the readers’ vision, culture and education. One’s vision of the world represents one’s truth about the world. Emphasizing the fictionality of truth and inviting the readers to analyze the symbols of the sea and of the various lights (Murdoch 77), which stand for different views on the past and the world, Iris Murdoch’s The Sea, The Sea evinces its postmodernist and metafictional condition.
Keywords: truth, fiction, postmodernist faces, vision, the past, the present, the sea, the light, the world
