As Fromm and Glotfelty note, while studying the relation between authors, texts, and the world, literary theory in general assumes the society, or the social sphere, as a synonym for the world. In order to re-examine the term world, the novel Ahl-e Gharq (1989) by Monīrō Ravānīpūr translated as The Drowned (2019) serves as an example of an environmental setting by emphasizing a complex cohabitation between humans and non-humans. Observing different elements of the narrative this essay is dedicated to the environmentEnvironment in the sense that it brings all non-humans together and stresses the interdependency between humans, other creatures, and their material worlds. In this essay, first, Ravānīpūr’s narrative strategies question our conception of the world through the networks of thoughts, memories, and experiences in relation to the characters’ embodied senses, which in turn offer us a complex constellation maintained between the human, the environmentEnvironment, and other agents such as the sea, land, oil, etc. Second, this research offers some reflections on how the narrative is embraced by an environmental rapport between humans and non-humans based on the vulnerability and finitude shared among all humans and non-humans in the place they inhabit.
