 IGU Hosted Famous Writer Latife Tekin


We hosted Latife Tekin, one of the most famous authors of Turkish and World Literature, at our faculty on 12.05.2022.


IGU Turkish Language and Literature Department hosted Latife Tekin, whose latest novel, “Zamansiz” has just been published. In the event, which was also the occasion to celebrate the release of the new book, a conversation was held with the author on "our literature and the art of the novel". Answering the questions asked by the students to him, Tekin said, "I write in the language of the poor, I try to pull myself out of the language." The first part of the program ended with the screening of a short film adapted by Tekin's novel “Ormanda Olum Yokmus” by the students of the Department of Turkish Language and Literature.

In the second part of the program, the exhibition "Place in Latife Tekin's Novels" made by the students of IGU Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Department of Architecture and which includes models made with abstraction technique, took place in the foyer area. This model study by the students was carried out under the management of Dr. Burak Kaan Yılmazsoy. Latife Tekin held a signing event at the stand of Can Yayınları, which was established in the foyer area after the program. The program received great attention and appreciation. The "That is the university" comment from one of the audience made us proud.
