Nedim Gürsel was born in Gaziantep, Turkey, in 1951. He published his first novellas and essays in Turkish literary magazines in the late 60s.

Quotes by Nedim Gürsel (?)

“Yokluk, yoksulluk içinde geçmişse, acıyla bilenmişse unutulmalı çocukluk. Kötü günler bir daha hiç anımsanmamalı. Sevgiyle büyütülmemişseniz, horlanıp dışlanmışsanız, ne bileyim kardeşinizi ya da ağabeyinizi, belki ablanızı sizden çok sevmiş kayırmışlarsa, evin kuytu bir köşesine sığınıp ya da soğuk gecede yorganı başınıza çekip ağlamayı huy edinmişseniz, çocukluk unutulmalı derim.”
― Nedim Gürsel, Sağ Salim Kavuşsak: Çocukluk Yılları

“أنت لم تعد تشعر الآن لا بالخوف من الله ولا بالرهبة من العذابات. وحده الشك، نعم، الشك الذي يجعل ممن يمسه إنسانً جديدً، هو الذي ينهش روحك. وعلى غرار امك وكل الذين يتألمون، ما تخشاه بعد الآن لم يعد أن تموت، بل أن لا تقدر أن تموت.”
― Nedim Gürsel, Allah'ın Kızları
