With the emergence of modernist approaches and their entry into contemporary fiction literature, writers have addressed their new ontological narrative of fiction and have gradually distanced themselves from the classical and linear narrative of previous decades. In the rhizomatic approach, the non-linear context, fluid and multiple experience replaces the ideas oriented towards the unified, single-rooted and focused whole. The ruling thought of the novel "When a Man Thinks" by Khowla Al-Qazvini is of a rhizome type that organizes a network of mutual affairs by breaking the spaces and lines of tree thinking. The tireless and spontaneous spirit of the first character of the novel (Mohammed) can be proved by rhizomatic reading. This article tries to analyze the applicability of the rhizomatic approach to the mentioned novel with descriptive analytical method. Since the rhizomatic approach provides an opportunity to analyze postmodernist novels and is very effective on the reader's understanding of the novel, the necessity of conducting this research becomes important. Deleuze's rhizomatic approach with its related components such as deauthorization of the subject, becoming, deterritorialization and territorialization has the ability to adapt to the mentioned novel. One of the most important findings of the current research is that the novel does not follow a hierarchical structure and that it has the characteristics of a postmodern novel, such as the lack of internal stability of the story, irregular structure, and rule avoidance. Khowla presents Muhammad as a nomadic and always "becoming" person who hates to stay in one place.
