HIS EVALUATION OF OTHER ARTISTS



Sabahattin Ali (1907-1948)

"For the first time in Turkish literature, Sabahattin Ali told of the people not from the point of view of an ordinary audience but as an author dependent on the people."

"I think that Sabahattin Ali is the forerunner of socialist realism in the art of the Turkish story. Those who would create social-realistic works after him follow him are going to be grateful to him."
