Derelict House

Zeynep Uysal reads Halit Ziya's novels as a monolithic novel. The recurring story of individuals who are dragged into abandonment as an experience of modernity... Trio loves consisting of two women and a man or two men and a woman, conflict and tension created by violent desires, broken lives on the border of the public and the private...

Unlike the Tanzimat novel, Halit Ziya's understanding of literature is not determined by messages or engagements. He tries to understand and give meaning to people with the characters he creates. That's why he lifts the roof of the derelict house and reveals the intimate world underneath. Derelict House examines the derelict characters in Halit Ziya's fictional world, their conflicts, and how the relationship between the desirer and the desired is established, while also showing the changing perception of literature. A stimulating new interpretation of Halit Ziya's novelism and Turkish novels.
