Salâh Birsel

1919 yılında Bandırma’da doğdu. Orta öğrenimini İzmir Erkek Lisesi’nde, yüksek öğrenimini İstanbul Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Felsefe Bölümü’nde tamamladı. Salâh Birsel’in 1947 yılında çıkan ilk kitabı olan Dünya İşleri, Orhan Veli ve arkadaşlarının Garip yıllarındaki deneylerine uzak kalmayan bir şairden haber verir. Şairanelikten kaçınma özelliği, ince yergi eğilimleri ve yalın söylenmiş dizelerle yansıtma çabasından gelen bir sadeliktir bu.

Özellikle Hacivat’ın Karısı'nda sözcüklerle şaka eder gibi rahatlayınca, yergiciliği de iyice ortaya çıkar. Öfkesini dişlerinin arasına sıkıştırarak bakarken vuracağı yeri arıyor gibidir. Geçmişle hesaplaşırken de tavrını bırakmaz. Kendine özgüyü kişileştirme amacına çok bağlı olduğu için, yaman

It has been described as “probably the most eminent novel of twentieth-century Turkish literature”: this reference is due to a UNESCO survey, which goes on: “it poses an earnest challenge to even the most skilled translator with its kaleidoscope of colloquialisms and sheer size.” In fact one translation has so far been published, into Dutch: Het leven in stukken, translated by Hanneke van der Heijden and Margreet Dorleijn (Athenaeum-Polak & v Gennep, 2011).
