| Summary: | Explorations in form and language are prominent features of the post-1940s Turkish Literature generation. Bilge Karasu, one of the most remarkable names of this generation, is known for his experimental practices with the image and utterance of a literary work. This article aims to take a holistic approach to Karasu’s texts and address his literature from a different perspective. The texts of Bilge Karasu were analyzed based on the psychology of escape that the author experienced, and we reviewed how the shadow of Karasu’s life and his approach to literature affect his works. The article is divided into three parts: the explanation of the psychology of escape, which is a subject that directly affects the life of the person; the place of escape psychology in Turkish literary tradition; and the explanation of Bilge Karasu as a fugitive writer based on his life and nonfiction writings and an explanation of the writer’s texts from this perspective. |
