Summary/Abstract: The paper considers emersion and distinctions of postmodernism in Turkish literature with a review of social and political circumstances during 70’s and 80’s in Turkey. Starting from Oguz Atay, whose novel published in 1971 is considered to be the first postmodern work in Turkey, to the worldly famous writers such are Orhan Pamuk, Nedim Gursel and Elif Shafak, Turkish postmodernists often encountered, as still do, resistance of the conservatives as a result of their deeply rooted Islamic and patriarchal merits justified with a desire to preserve Turkish identity.
