'''''Tutunamayanlar''''' (in Eng. ''Erectus Disconnectus'') is the first novel of [[Oguz Atay]], one of the most prominent Turkish authors. It was written in 1970-71 and published in 1972. Although it was never reprinted in his lifetime and was controversial among critics, it has become a best-seller since a new edition came out in 1984. It has been described as “probably the most eminent novel of twentieth-century Turkish literature”[http://portal.unesco.org/culture/en/ev.php-URL_ID=19184&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html]. This reference is due to a UNESCO survey, which goes on: “it poses an earnest challenge to even the most skilled translator with its kaleidoscope of colloquialisms and sheer size.” No translation has yet appeared in any language. It teases the well-established norms of the Turkish bourgeois world by a style which only "the disconnected" could empathize with. |

Tutunamayanlar (in Eng. Erectus Disconnectus) is the first novel of Oguz Atay, one of the most prominent Turkish authors. It was written in 1970-71 and published in 1972. Although it was never reprinted in his lifetime and was controversial among critics, it has become a best-seller since a new edition came out in 1984. It has been described as “probably the most eminent novel of twentieth-century Turkish literature”[1]. This reference is due to a UNESCO survey, which goes on: “it poses an earnest challenge to even the most skilled translator with its kaleidoscope of colloquialisms and sheer size.” No translation has yet appeared in any language. It teases the well-established norms of the Turkish bourgeois world by a style which only "the disconnected" could empathize with.
