Yalnızlar

Lonely Ones is the work of an author who literally 'breathes soul' into every detail.
-Selim Ileri-

"They thought they were living a complex and, in a way, exciting life, always under the same identical conditions, experiencing the same common troubles, but without realizing that they were locked in their own loneliness even when they were together."

The Loners, one of the first dystopian examples of Turkish literature, takes place in a rural town in Turkey in the 1950s. Some of them are teachers, doctors, prosecutors who were exiled here because of the political pressures of the period; some of them are officers who are there on duty or they are locals of the town... What they all have in common is their loneliness, which they are not aware of or that they are aware of, but which will gradually turn into a problem of existence. The struggle of "loners" to hold on to life, stuck in the triangle of alcohol, lust and hypocrisy, which will end in absolute failure... ... There are psychological determinations in The Lonely Ones that we rarely encounter in Turkish novels... The Lonely Ones is a truly successful novel."
-Fethi Naci-

"The Lonely Ones opens up to the suffocating adventure of those who came from a big city in the countryside. What happened during the transition to the party era creates a social background for the "Loners", while in the foreground is always the loneliness, depression, and often tragic end of the individual. The people of big cities, who are faced with a narrow horizon, have exhausted their ideals, and in the perception that they will always live the same tomorrow, seek temporary salvation in alcohol and sexuality. However, collapse is approaching step by step. An important feature of loners is their mastery and meticulousness in expressing details. The work continues with a wealth of details; It documents the effort of an author who integrates every single detail into the whole novel, literally 'breathing soul' into every detail."
