Those Who Cling to Their Land - Children of the Forbidden Zone 2
"The novelist does not look at the past like historians; he does not see only dates, numbers and names in the past. The novelist looks at the He sees living people on the ground, people suffering, laughing, longing. While Hasan Sağlam focuses on different periods of the last century of history, he focuses on people's personal stories, hopes and despairs. >
Novels leave their mark on memories with their characters as well as their social texture. With Children of the Forbidden Zone, Hasan Sağlam travels through life by placing the world of a deaf and mute character on the main axis; He was telling about what those who went into exile after suffering from a region scorched with pain encountered there, how they were seen and how they returned to their lands. He questions it by letting go and comes to the near future from there. Isn't this what makes novels different and special? Hasan Saglam Dersim He writes from the inside. He does this with the fluency that should be in a novel, without using political and agitational language. What he tells is a drama and everything that happens in that drama. There is a poetic language, a fairy-tale narrative, a musical flow, sections from a geography, and a summary of human relations in Those Who Cling to Their Land. It adds a different harmony. The soil is the nourisher and hope of this harmony.
