Yusuf Atılgan



Atılgan was born in 1921 in Manisa. With the invasion of Manisa (September 1922) by the Greeks, his family migrated to Hacırahmanlı from the mountainous region where they lived. After graduating from Necâti Bey Primary School and Balıkesir High School in this city, Atılgan moved to Istanbul and enrolled in the Department of Turkish Language and Literature at Istanbul University Faculty of Literature. Here he was a student of names such as Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, Reşid Rahmeti Arat, Ali Nihat Tarlan, Ragıp Hulusi Özdem and Halide Edib Adıvar.Atılgan was detained for a while for participating in leftist student movements during his university years. He then completed his dissertation and graduated. He worked as a literature teacher at Maltepe Military High School in Akşehir for a year. Afterwards he returned to Hacırahmanlı village (1946). [4] The death of his father, his work on the farm, and his marriage in 1949 followed one after the other. He returned to literature in 1952, renouncing his work in the village.He returned to literature in 1952, renouncing his work in the village. He participated in the story contest initiated by Tercüman in 1954 with the two stories he sent with the signatures of "Ziya Atılgan" and "Nevzat Çorum" and gave his first literary works, and in this competition, he came first with his story called Evdaki and seventh with Kümesin Ötesi. He also came second in the Yunus Nadi Novel Prize with the Aylak Adam (1958), who identified with him, and became widely known. Later, he showed his competence in the field of stories in the magazine Varlık ve a. [5] When it came to 1973, he wrote his second novel, Motherland Hotel. He married the theater actor Serpil Gence for the second time (1974), when he had difficulty in making a living. [6] While he was a proofreader at various publishing houses, he also made some translations.1987 was an important year in his recognition. Because Anayurt Hotel was transferred to the cinema by Ömer Kavur with the same name. [8] The death of Atılgan was due to a heart attack on October 9, 1989, while he was working in Canistan, after the following illnesses. He was buried in Bülbülderesi Cemetery after the funeral prayer in Moda Mosque.Novelism Although Atılgan left behind a small corpus in general, he managed to influence the next generations in Turkish literature. [10] Reşat Nuri Güntekin's "musk" (see. Miskinler Tekkesi) turns into the "Aylak Adam" in his first novel with the character C. In this novel, human and city life is given with a psychological approach and the concept of alienation, loneliness and family is examined. There are those who see this as a rebellion, and it is possible to set it on the same plane with another cult novel, The Unstoppable. The character of Zebercet in Anayurt Hotel is a product of human typology trying to make sense of the moment he lived. This interpretation takes place on the axis of loneliness, love and sexuality with the question of "why and why I live".In Canistan, events and places are completely different. This time, the author returns to the time he was born and to the geography. In this novel, he tries to reflect his period with events, places and local dialects as well as traces from his own life. After the copyrights of the author's works were transferred from YKY to Can Yayınları, Can Yayınları published the work titled 'Let You Live Comfortably', which includes samples from Atılgan's handwritten notes, poems, translations and short stories left in magazines. The book also included the introduction of the novel "The Magpie on the Donkey's Back" that the author destroyed.
