Description
Our Son - There is No Such Thing as Tomorrow - Stories 1 Book Description: Tarık Buğra is one of the leading writers of our political novel tradition, along with Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu and Kemal Tahir, about the War of Independence and the founding problem of the Republic of Turkey, and is also noted for his storytelling. pulls. In his stories, Buğra often narrates with a unique sense of what "ordinary" people have gone through or are likely to go through. Sometimes he makes us feel the sadness of an illness, sometimes the passion of a love, and sometimes the joy of a conversation, as if we were experiencing it ourselves. In his stories, as in his novels, he does not neglect to be in the countryside, to be together with the people of the countryside, and in short to tell the "spirit of the countryside". This book, which brings together the first part of the stories written by Tarık Buğra, will appeal to readers who previously only knew Buğra from his novels. While bringing together the readers not only with a "novelist who wrote in 1996" but with a storyteller in his own right with every sentence, it also provides an opportunity for readers who will encounter Buğra's texts for the first time to open the great "entrance door" of Tarık Buğra's literature. “We can think that Buğra developed his storytelling along two distinct lines and responded to the literary debates of the period not with theory but with practice. One line of Buğra's storytelling is the 'time' line where he meets Proust and Tanpınar. This is, of course, the line of post-Bergson modernist writing. (...) The second line of Buğra's storytelling that I mentioned at the beginning is humanism. Just as he is in the same place with Tanpınar in his stories about time, he is also in the same line as Sait Faik in his humane and humanitarian stories.”From Jale Parla's Foreword...(From the Promotional Bulletin)
