The primary episode of Armağan Tunaboylu’s ‘Berkun İstanbullu Detectives’, recognized for his ‘Metin Çakır Detectives’, was launched by Oğlak Publications. The novel, which is definitely a two-layered textual content, is probably the most satisfying detective novel I’ve learn in current days. Mustafa Eryaman, then again, saves the legend of an period from being doomed to vanish in historical past by amassing the whole lot concerning the well-known Turkish singer who left his mark on the Sixties with the music ‘Black Eyes Eyes Diamond’ in his ebook ‘Ali Ercan, My Name to My Mates’.
TANER AY
My ardour for detective novels and ‘Chilly Warfare’ espionage novels is understood. After I’m drained, I often take one in every of Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot novels to loosen up and begin rereading it from someplace. So far as I do know, he’s the hero of 33 novels and 54 tales. Nice actors equivalent to Albert Finney, Peter Ustinov and Ian Holm have performed him within the cinema, however I do not suppose any of them can beat David Suchet of the British tv drama ‘Agatha Christie’s Poirot’. I additionally love Georges Simenon’s Commissioner Maigret novels, however I used to be requested ‘Poirot or Maigret?’ If you happen to ask me, my choice could be for Poirot with out hesitation.
It can’t be mentioned that our detective literature is weak, within the years once we adopted ‘fiction novels’ within the newspapers, we by no means missed the detectives of Server Bedi, İskender Fahrettin, Vâ-Nû and Ümit Deniz, for instance. The whole withdrawal of detective fiction from our literature is within the interval of ‘cultural desertification’ earlier than ’80. After ’80, a couple of names tried ‘pure crime’, however largely the strategy of inserting detective components in novels dominated. Within the final twenty years, a era of ‘detective writers’ has emerged. If not all, I attempt to observe Ercan Akbay, Algan Sezgintüredi, Armağan Tunaboylu and Yaprak Öz.
Armagan Tunaboylu
You could know Armağan Tunaboylu from ‘Metin Çakır Detectives’, now he has began the ‘Berkun İstanbullu Detectives’ collection. The primary ebook of the collection, ‘Dying of a Crime Author’, was printed by Oğlak Publications. Berkun is a snobby cop who grows orchids in his conservatory on the terrace of his home and listens to Claudio Arrau. His khaki cargo pants, white linen shirt and skinny denim jacket are, I believe, the thought of Armağan’s life companion Esin. We first know Berkun on the third ground of an outdated residence constructing in Fatih, which smells of mould, urine and meals. Though we expect that the corpses of three Syrians will lead the journey into bloody clashes between human smugglers, we notice that we have been incorrect after a couple of pages. As a result of the actual story will start with the corpse in Fikirtepe, which darkens the soul of the beholder with the particles of the buildings destroyed because of city transformation. There isn’t a one within the group who likes Berkun due to his snobbery. We handed the cops, even Kahveci Nedim does not like him. In actual fact, he does not like them both. The reason being that the group considers it a betrayal to the occupation that it’s full of people that cannot discover jobs elsewhere.
Armağan’s ‘Dying of a Crime Author’ is definitely a two-layered textual content. The underlying cinematographic nature appears a bit ‘veiled’ because of adjective fluctuations and ‘poetic’ descriptions. If Present minimizes these within the second ebook of the collection, as in Ernest Hemingway’s ‘Killers’ story, I consider that the cinematographic construction of ‘Berkun İstanbullu Crimes’ can be revealed in its entirety. Nevertheless, be sure that to place the ‘Dying of the Crime Author’ in your bag, it provides you with a really nice time in public transport, in case you work, throughout lunch breaks. It is the funniest detective I’ve ever learn…
THE VOICE SPREADING TO THE SURROUNDINGS OF THE CITY
I had truly learn Mustafa Eryaman’s ebook ‘Ali Ercan, My Name to My Mates’ final month, however I could not discover the chance to put in writing it due to a minor well being drawback. I do not know if anybody remembers the Turkish singer Ali Ercan from Niğde right now. Within the ’60s, his folks music ‘Black Eyes Eyes Diamond’ was in every single place, and the migration from the village to the town unfold this music to all of the suburbs of Istanbul. I do not forget that the 45’s ‘Have You Seen a Lady Handed to Adana’ and ‘Is This the World for Justice’ have been additionally performed regularly in minibuses. Then he based Ercan Information in Unkapanı, had data made by Neşet Ertaş and Müşerref Akay. It appears to me that his artwork was stifled by his rush to commerce. Though he sought his outdated voice amongst expatriates overseas for some time, sadly he couldn’t discover it.
Ali Ercan, who was born in Niğde in 1931 and celebrated his seventieth yr in artwork final yr, lives in his hometown.
In direction of the top of the ’70s, he needed to make a brand new debut by utilizing purely spiritual motifs within the folks songs he wrote, however it was now forgotten, so he hit the wall of time. Eryaman collected the whole lot about Niğdeli Ali Ercan and compiled it right into a ebook. Effectively executed, as a result of it not solely transfers a forgotten voice to the longer term, but in addition supplies a useful useful resource to folks tradition researchers. Nevertheless, there may be a right away scarcity of methodology within the ebook. I believe this stems from his thought of amassing the whole lot about Ali Ercan and placing it right into a ebook. If it have been me, for instance, I would not give a lot area to Ali Ercan’s current folks music lyrics, however reasonably based mostly on his years and works that included him within the society. I’d additionally like articles on why Ali Ercan grew to become well-known from an vital sociologist and a researcher of people tradition. Since Eryaman is an academician, I consider that he’ll take these under consideration within the re-creation of his ebook, which he printed along with his personal means. Apart from, I consider that many Ali Ercan could be doomed to vanish in historical past if there weren’t loopy individuals like Eryaman. Good factor there are good individuals like Eryaman on this nation!
