Sonsuz Panayır

"Finally, the power that can completely put people under the devil's influence is these: Empty noise, a discordant but unceasing racket, an endless anarchy of words and sounds! Racketeering racket... Meaningful or meaningless, necessary or unnecessary, eternal banging and screaming! People must swallow these as dynamism, power, movement... And you can swallow them, as long as the banging and noise that will not leave people any strength to think or live their inner lives, that will not stop, become a daily need."

While describing the Istanbul society and entertainment worlds dominated by Anatolian capital during the Second World War, Halide Edib names her novel The Infinite Fair. These entertainment venues and fairs point to a negativity that will never end despite the involvement of entertainment. In this negativity, Anatolia, or rather Anatolian capital, occupies an important place. In the novels written by Halide Edib in the early years of the Republic, Anatolia was a place that needed to be educated and civilized, but the bourgeois state of the Anatolians who dominated the urban bourgeoisie during World War II disturbed the author greatly.
