A Summer Full of Love Before Winter Comes

Füruzan's new book, Before Winter Comes - A Summer Full of Love, has been published by Yapı Kredi Publications. The texts of the plays, which have been staged many times before, were brought together in a book for the first time.

Füruzan turned the story "Before Winter Comes" into a play in 1997 and "A Summer Full of Love" into a play in 2001. These plays, which have been staged approximately 200 times in the State Theaters, are still included in the repertoire today and are watched with interest when staged. The text of these plays is included in the book as written by the author.
Sevda Şener says the following about Füruzan's play A Summer Full of Love: "The evening I watched the play, Füruzan, who was sitting next to me, asked, 'Do you think it counts as a one-man theater piece?' asked. However, the valuable author had already answered the question and structured the tense relationships in a way that emphasized the dramatic meaning of life, just like in a multi-person play. Moreover, A Summer Full of Love reminded me how much I missed Turkish, equipped with the subtleties of literary art.”
Ayşegül Yüksel comments on the author's literature as follows: “'Füruzan is an event in our literature,' says Memet Fuat. In his works, he was able to handle the human landscapes that make up the Turkish society both in terms of individual sensibilities, and how these sensibilities overlap and conflict and express a general portrait of society in a simple way. How he transformed the 'tragic' into 'Pathos', an irreparable bitterness, which deepens over time and settles into the consciousness like a cannonball, rather than honing and sharpening it at the moment it is experienced.”
