Abbas Maroufi's novel Sal-e Bolva (Year of Turmoil, 1992) stands as one of the most significant works of contemporary Persian fiction, portraying the crises of identity, the disintegration of familial bonds, and the existential anxiety of its characters in a polyphonic and complex narrative. This study employs Lacanian psychoanalytic methodology, focusing on the pivotal concept of the Name-of-the-Father (Nom du Pere), to investigate the psychological architecture of the novel's narrative and characters. The central question concerns how the absence or failure of the paternal function leads to the collapse of the symbolic order, the constitution of the split subject, and the foreclosure of desire in the novel's world. The hypothesis holds that Maroufi, through depicting the crisis of paternal authority across the three registers of the Real, the Imaginary, and the Symbolic, presents a tragic vision of a modern subject trapped in the pursuit of an unattainable desire. Analysis of forty-two textual excerpts from the novel demonstrates that the fictional world of Sal-e Bolva can be read as an exhibition of symbolic pathology, in which traces of jouissance, the objet petit a, and traumatic repetition pervade every layer of the narrative.
