	abstract = {In his The Kite Runner (2003), Khaled Hosseini uses storytelling for at least two purposes: to show how the first-person narrator yearns to alleviate or at least control the profoundly destructive impact of a single past experience on his adult mind and to show how, through such a recollection and reconstruction process, the narrator feels satisfied with his atonement by the end of his narration. Storytelling helps Hosseini{\textquoteright}s narrator to reconfigure his unfavourable experiences, which act both as the central concern of the narrative plot and as a shared quality weaving the central characters together. Cognitive narratologists, such as Monika Fludernik and David Herman, consider representation of experience an important basic element of narrativity or the qualities that make a narrative accepted as narrative. By focusing on his personal and human-like experiences, the protagonist Amir{\textquoteright}s storytelling not only functions as a significant tool to alleviate his intense suffering, but also facilitates the readers{\textquoteright} emotional engagement in Hosseini{\textquoteright}s storyworld. },

	abstract = {<p>This essay explores the function of trauma as a political apparatus in Julian Barnes{\textquoteright}s latest novel The Noise of Time (2016). Focusing on the artistic life of worldly, well-known Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, Barnes{\textquoteright}s narrative shows how trauma, as a dominant political apparatus, is systematically implemented by Stalin{\textquoteright}s State of Terror or Power and how it dramatically impacts the psychological state of an artist. By presenting three stages of the central character{\textquoteright}s traumatic experiences, the omniscient narrator represents trauma{\textquoteright}s continuous impact on Shostakovich{\textquoteright}s mind through his own retrospective perspective. The narrative focuses on Shostakovich{\textquoteright}s constant sense of fear and intense panic at three decisive points of life when he finds himself in humiliating conversations with Power. The narrative presents the manner in which Shostakovich{\textquoteright}s mind is possessed by the horrors, fears, and anxieties of both his traumatic experiences and post-traumatic recollections.</p>},
