The Disconnected / Complete Works 1

Tutunamayanlar is one of the most important works of Turkish literature. Berna Moran describes Oğuz Atay's first novel as "a rebellion, both in what it says and in the way it is told." According to Moran, "Oğuz Atay's humor and sensitivity, as well as the technical subtleties he uses, make Tutunamayanlar the product of a great talent, and this competence in the work has brought the Turkish novel into line with the contemporary novel concept and has contributed a lot to it." Atay, who cleverly mocks the petty bourgeois world and its values, "writes with a novel that those who hold on to its attack will not understand and will reject."
