readers through the novels Çiçekler Susayınca” (When
you write. Do the novels
you write have anything in
common?
As a writer searching for
the absolute truth, the most
important common point
of my novels is that they all
bear the traces of my efforts
to "search for the absolute
truth". In addition, my
intention to leave good things
behind is one of the common
points of my works. It would
not be a lie if I say that one
of my greatest motivations
while preparing my works
is Necip Fazıl's those lines
"Am I going to die, just in my
age to speak, the longing
of the sentence I have not
yet spoken is on my lips...".
Perhaps the most important
of the common points is
this, the lines "I long for the
sentence I haven't said yet on
my lips" are the reason why I
don't isolate myself from this
world. On the other hand,
the common main purpose
of my works and one of the
common points in my novels
is that my works present
decent, virtuous role models
which protect the values in
front of the society, especially
the new generation.
I can briefly say that these
are the important common
points in my embodied
works...
You have written many
memorable novels such
as "Sitem” (Reproach), "
biggest source of inspiration
the Flowers Are Thirsty),
“Boşluk” (The Void)... Do
you have a novel that has a
special place in your mind?
It is not possible for an
author to make a distinction
between his works and
to prioritize one or more
of them over the others.
However, if you ask me to
make a distinction, my first
work "Çiçekler Susayınca"
(When Flowers are Thirsty),
which was published as
a series of articles in the
newspaper, and my work
"Yanık Buğdaylar (Burnt
Wheat), which was published
as my first book, are special
for me because they were the
first.
These two are my
inspiration, my
motivation, my
life elixir and my
meaning.
Many novels, many lives,
many events... Is there
anyone or anything that
inspired you while writing
your novels?
"The Quran", which
falls within the scope of
"anything" in your question,
but means "Everything" to
me and which I can never
compare with anything else
and can never be evaluated
in the same category, is my
while writing my works.
The greatest person I am
inspired by is Muhammad, Samsun E-Magazine
the Messenger of Allah
(SAW). These two are my
source of inspiration, my
motivation, my elixir of life
and my meaning. The sub-
inspirations of the stories
that I bring to the reader
by melting these two main
sources of inspiration are;
What I see, what I hear, what
I live and what I experience is
life itself.
What does writing mean
to you? What would your
reaction be if you were told
that you would never be
able to write again?
No one except Allah can say
that I will never be able to
write again. As long as Allah
gives the strength to work,
the pen will work. Whatever
Allah commands, happens.
My reaction to Allah’s
commands, like all living
things, is "An unconditional
and unquestioning
acceptance with no
alternative..."
Many young people dream
of becoming a writer and
do not know which path
to follow. Do you have any
advice for young people
who want to become
writers?
Imagination is a treasure
of the writer; without it, it
is not possible to embark 83
