Quoting vineyards:

Tutunamayanlar by Oguz Atay is probably the most remarkable example of modern Turkish prose.

As for today, Orhan Pamuk is the king of the hill.



I had started to read Bir Bilim Adamının Romanı by Oğuz Atay but couldnt finish it somehow... and i had loved the way the was telling...
