Abstract
The two volume novel wandering island and astray camel driver is a coded novel. To has employed different codal devices¸ all of which are novel and deciphering them is in fact a function of the internal organization of the work. Employing special scenes¸ ambiguous words¸ coded description¸ frequency of marginal notes¸ parenthetical sentences¸ specific common tenses¸ famous slogans¸ political places¸ ironical use of words¸ associations¸ the most common meaning of words¸ synonyms¸ scientific probabilities¸ specific examples¸ metaphorical expression¸ description instead of names¸ mythological traditions¸ implications of words and sentences¸ the
use of irony¸ associative properties of names and adding meaningful nickname to proper names are among the techniques which can be inferred in this novel. In extracting those techniques the author has relied solely on the style of writing¸ the author’s interpretations¸ comparison of some of the scenes¸ interaction between the scenes and their content¸ and the internal organization of the text¸ whit the exception of some historical evidence. The purpose of this study was to extract artistic techniques by Daneshvar in creating novel codes to help the expansion of the indirect significations in personal and methods of writing fiction.
