Abstract
Postmodernism is of great interest to a wide range of people because it directs out attention to the changes, the major transformations taking place in contemporary society and culture.

This paper is an analysis on Orhan Pamuk's seventh novel Snow from a postmodern perspective. This work is also concerned with cultural ethics
