Shameful Dead End

Our esteemed novelist Üstün İnanç, who keeps alive the social, cultural, and political life of his era in his memory and translates them into writing, presents a segment from the era of oppression that began in the 1940s and continued until the late 1960s in “Yazıklar Çıkmazı.” The novel tells the story of our people who were persecuted, scorned, and marginalized for their beliefs and for living by those beliefs. İnanç, who possesses a rich language and a fluent style, also shows solutions for our society, which experienced social turmoil due to heavy pressures. While portraying the political and social conflicts of our recent history, the novel also narrates the story of a family and a nation’s great struggle for living by the values they believe in.
