The Youth of a Petty Bourgeois Years, One Long Autumn, A Summer Season Romance and a nihilistic fire that spreads through these three novels. Demir Özlü describes the dilemmas of the petty bourgeois who does not know what to do in the corridors of existence with an ever-deepening loneliness. Writers, artists, a small group of intellectuals who experienced deep spiritual and physical collapse in old Istanbul, that magical city that was disappearing... What was the shelter they were looking for? Where would a writer drift when faced with the insipidity of the age? Three romances composed in the language of sadness by a master writer who was dragged into nothingness by martial law, coups, and cultural crises in the political landscape of his period, and eventually exiled himself to the dull cities of the north... Bittersweet, yet full of life.
