Abstract
This project tried in analytical- descriptive method to recognize and deal with elements of confessional literature in the novel "Dr. Noon loves his wife more than Mossadegh" by Shahram Rahimian. The results show that this modernist novel with focusing on 5 fundamental elements of confessional literature i.e. inner return, change, inner pain, emphasis on sexual issues and thinking about death repeats life of a generation who have been looking inner and gradual death of the reformer elite and as a result death of the own self (Malektaj) and ruin of social ideals and hopes because of political retreat and humiliation feeling due to defeat confessing ethical obliquity, isolation and individual and social indifferences . Therefore, they have no choice at the end of their own life except to confess to this backward movement and to accept their own negative and destructive role.
