Coincidence and Will

In this book consisting of essays on the novel writing of Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, one of the insurmountable peaks of Turkish literature, Seval Şahin reveals how genres such as letters, memoirs, theater and middle plays dynamise the relationship between fiction, plot and structure in Tanpınar's texts. Şahin, who drew a comprehensive theoretical framework by taking into account the current studies about Tanpınar; Mahur Beste tries to bring a new perspective to Tanpınar's poetics in the context of Those Outside the Stage, Peace and Time Regulation Institute.

“Maybe Tanpınar failed to create a tragedy with Suad, but isn't that the real tragedy? A person who puts himself at the center of the universe is alone, cannot integrate with others, cannot pluralize himself. In the last scene, it is Suad, not Mümtaz, who stretches into the sky like a sun illuminating everything. Isn't this the deification of man in certain senses? Here is another equivalent of inverted theology.”
