The perspective of this novel is first-person and simultaneously pursues multiple purposes and goals. In this novel, Pamuk has adapted Nizami Ganjai's "Khosro and Shirin" and created a post-modern narrative that has both narrative and visual dimensions. He has narrated the events of his novel both based on historical and fictional documents and based on the pictures of Iranian and Turkish painters. This research has been carried out with a descriptive-analytical method and the polyphonic aspect of the novel "My Name is Red", Pamuk's mode of narration and the identity and position of the novel's numerous and diverse narrators have been investigated. The findings of the research show that despite following the post-modern patterns, Pamuk has used an innovative method in narration, characterization and choosing the narrator and determining the nature and position of the narrators of this novel.
