CRIME, DEATH AND SUICIDE IN YUSUF ATILGAN’S WORKS IN TERMS OF THE SELF AND THE OTHER
Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 45
Abstract
In novels and short stories of Yusuf Atılgan, (1921-1989), one of the most important authors in Turkish literature, tendency to commit crime is a way of reflecting potential of people who experience extreme situations. In his three novels, one of which is not finished, and short stories, the relation of people with crime, though based on different reasons, varies and has enough objective correspondences in sociologic and psychologic dimensions. This situation which rises as death, desire to kill, suicide, torture, sexual assault, theft and perversion indicates a community which produces crime and criminals to a lager extent. These crime and guilt feelings, from memory fractures to present time, which are committed, witnessed, or just avoided in a way, give rise to the notion of “nonsense of life”. This article comparatively and analytically examines reflection of crime to literary text as a way of existence of the self in Yusuf Atılgan’s novels and short stories.
