Cevizli Bahçe - Öyküler 1

"He ran his oilcloth over his forehead again in distress and spat angrily on the ground. Ah Satıoğlu... All these sufferings were because of him. What happened if a rich man like Karun couldn't get his three and a half cents from a shirtless man like Dal Murat? Did he earn money and not give it back? While they always prayed for rain and asked God for a drop of mercy on their dry fields, who was responsible if their fields were flooded last year and they couldn't harvest? But how should he explain this to the guy?"

Kemal Bilbaşar offers his readers striking sections from every region of Anatolia in his stories, as in his novels. In these stories, which reflect the urban and provincial texture of the Republican era, the ağa position, village life; the distorted relationships that society has with civil servants and clergymen, as well as the place of women in society are revealed with a witty realism. Bilbaşar reminds us once again of the ancient questions of poverty, authority, inequality and morality.
