ABSTRACT
Reconsidering the role of literature and people’s interactions through old and new media, John Urry postulates the idea that mobility is not only about the movement of people or things, but it also covers interactions between nations and states. Urry suggests that if the process of exchanges constantly happens across the borders of nations and cultures through the concept of world literature, traces of mobility become visible in various issues such as politics, economy, society, culture, and so on. Applying an eclectic approach, this study seeks to envision a new outlook toward narrative and mobility through the comparative study of selected works by Simin Daneshvar, Shahriar Mandanipour, and Don DeLillo. Identifying the connection between mobility and literature can facilitate a resilient process of negotiation stemming from nations to envision a cultural reciprocity between Iranians and Americans by means of narrative and mobility.
