«El hijo del capitán» is the novel by Nedim Gürsel, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (248 pages, in Spanish).
An ageing journalist records on a tape recorder, on his daughter's advice, the memories that marked his life: his mother's death, his despotic military father, boarding at the Galatasaray lycée and his arrival in Paris. Istanbul and rebellion against authority span half a century of Turkish history.
Translated from Turkish by Carmen Torres París and M. Dolores Torres París. Part of the Alianza Literaria collection; 2017 edition.
For readers of contemporary fiction with an interest in personal memory and recent Turkey.
Nedim Gürsel is a Turkish writer. In the late 1960s, he published novellas and essays in Turkish magazines. After graduating from Galatasaray High School in 1970, he studied at the Sorbonne. In 1974, he graduated from the Sorbonne's Department of Modern French Literature. In 1979, he received his doctorate in comparative literature after completing his dissertation on Louis Aragon and Nazim Hikmet. He returned to Turkey, but the unrest there in 1980 persuaded him to go back to France.
