The Lost Generation (novel series)

The Lost Generation (novel series)

"Lost Generation " is a novel series that Turkish writer Hikmet Temel Akarsu penned between the years 1987-1992. The other tag given to this generation who were born between 1955-1965 and had to live through several periods of agitation, economical crises and political conflict is Generation X. The four novels in the series are: “Aleladelik Cagi (The Age of The Ordinary)”, “Caresiz Zamanlar (Desperate Times)”, “Yeniklerin Aski (Love of The Defeated)”, “Sevgili Superi (Dear Superi).”

As a member of this generation, the writer has expressed sincerity and uncontrolled sensitivity in his novels. Due to their historic, informative and descriptive nature of the times, these novels are not considered to be the writer’s best work. These stories of this dejected, withdrawn generation who have led themselves to ruin have inspired many novels, films and songs in the West, too.
