According to certain theories, Postmodernism makes a conscious use of the cyclical nature of mythical narrations in response to the anxieties of frag- mentation and isolation of the self. Hence, Postmodernism, through its own mecha- nisms and techniques, offers reconceptualizations of the mythical structure applied to the contemporary social conditions. The aim of this article is to analyse how Neil Gaiman consciously employs a mythical structure in his first novel, Neverwhere (1996), and how he subverts the final aim of this pattern. My contention is that Neverwhere is a postmodernist novel whose structure follows the cyclical pattern of the Campbellian monomyth. But the cyclical nature of the myth is utterly transformed in the novel.
