Ece Temelkuran, Turkish author, was born in 1973. She is a daily columnist of one of the most popular Turkish newspapers for ten years and a prize winning journalist. Her primary concerns that she addresses are the contemporary criticism of popular culture, masques of politics, women issues, and all other deteriorating identities of humanity. She uses various forms of dramatic sentimentalism and black humor together, combined with her postmodern style, creating space for tactful connections to everyday life. She is the author of three experimental literary fiction books written in the form of poem in prose, and a documentary book on hunger strikes. Lately she published two collections of articles from her column. Temelkuran is the pioneerin Ece Temelkuran, Turkish author, was born in 1973.

Quotes by Ece Temelkuran (?)

“bir insan bir insanda başka bir hayatın kapısını görünce aşık olur. ne mutluluktur öte yandaki, ne de tadıyla meraklandıran bir acı. aşk diye buna denir: bir insan bir insanda tekinsiz bir ev görür. insan yarası yarasına denk geleni seviyor demek ki.”
― Ece Temelkuran, Muz Sesleri

“Hava bir tuhaf.
Hayal kurmaya yönelik bir tutum var havada.
Kaçmaya müsait bir bulutluluk.
Bir balkon olsa şimdi.
Kimsenin seni tanımadığı bir şehirde.
Kahvenin içine konyak kendiliğinden düşse,
kocaman bir hırkanın içinde olsan.
Bir şeyi terk etmiş olsan.
Mesela bir şehri.
Mesela kendini, yüzünü filan mesela.”
― Ece Temelkuran
