18.01.2025 12:30 Selim İleri: Both very crowded and alone in universe I think Selim İleri has a special place in our generation, who spent their childhood in the 1980s and became his readers in the late 1990s and 2000s. Our conversations with my generation who read his books are still lively. One of my friends summarized Selim İleri perfectly: “This man is both like us and not like us at all.” He made us rehearse the loneliness of the life ahead of us with his books.
