Garip Bir Tesadüf - Vakit'teki Hikayeler

Rate this book
Edebiyat ve sanat tarihimizin en nev-i şahsına münhasır simalarından Fikret Adil, erken dönem Cumhuriyet'in renkli kültürel atmosferinin hem tanığı hem de eşsiz bir anlatıcısıdır. Dönemin çoksesliliği ve üretkenliği bütün tonlarıyla satırlarından sızarak, toplumsal belleğimizde nadide bir uğrak oluşturur. Garip Bir Tesadüf adını taşıyan, titizlikle yürütülmüş bir arşiv çalışmasının eseri olan bu derleme de, yine aynı şekilde dönemin ruhunu bütün unsurlarıyla yansıtırken, Fikret Adil satır aralarından maharetle göz kırparak tiyatrocuları, ressamları, sinemacıları, devrinin edebiyatçılarını nüktedan dokunuşlarla kurgusunun bir parçası haline getiriyor. Farklı konu ve anlatım teknikleri kullandığı hikâyelerinden müteşekkil bu seçki, yazarla İstanbul'un bohem hayatını konu alan eserleri vesilesiyle tanışan okurları dahi hayli şaşırtacak.
