Pezeksezzad’s novel Hafez Nashnidepand is a multilayered text that challenges the established structures of history, power, and narrative through the use of paradoxical techniques. This study, based on Linda Hutchen’s theory of paradox, attempts to examine the three main components of paradoxicality in this novel: the destruction of power displays, the inversion of history, and the displacement of narrative elements. The results of the study show that Pezeksezzad, by using ironic language, caricatures of characters, and creating semantic contradictions, has removed history from its linear and definitive narrative and transformed it into an arena of rewritten contradictions. Furthermore, the display of power in this novel is formed both on the basis of real actions and through symbolic displays and performances, which in turn leads to the collapse of the legitimacy of the rulers. Also, disproportionalization of narrative elements, such as the presence of disparate characters in a parliament or changing the function of social places, breaks the narrative coherence and highlights the contradiction in the text. The research method is based on the qualitative analysis of the novel based on Hutchen's theory of contradiction, and the research findings indicate that Pezekzzad, with his complex humor, has removed history and power from their absolute position and exposes them to a critical reading
