Sorguda

by Nedim Gürsel

Nedim Gürsel, bu yeni kitabında çorak tepelerle çevrili bir bozkır kışlasından Avrupa'nın uğultulu kentlerine, otel odalarının yalnızlığından kalabalık sokaklara götürüyor okurlarını. Sorgudaki insanı anlatırken toplumun baskı mekanizmalarını da sergiliyor. Ama sorgulanan insan, yazarın kişiliğinde sorgulayan insana, geçmişle günümüzü, aşkla acıyı, eylemle direnci ve giderek edebiyatı sorgulayan anlatıcıya dönüşüyor.

About the author

Nedim Gürsel was born in Gaziantep, Turkey, in 1951. He published his first novellas and essays in Turkish literary magazines in the late 60s. After the coup d’état in 1971, he had to testify in court for one of his articles. This led to his decision to temporarily reside in France. He studied Comparative Literature at the Sorbonne in Paris and completed his dissertation in 1979 on Nâzim Hikmet and Louis Aragon. Gürsel then returned to Turkey, but the military putsch of 1980 sent him back into exile in France. He first wrote articles and travel reports which were published in 'Le Monde', as well as in the Turkish newspapers 'Cumhuriyet' and 'Milliyet'. Today he teaches contemporary Turkish literature at the Sorbonne and directs the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.
