Speech Content:

Tomris Uyar, in her article in which she uses the expression "to be able to write the gaps" for the region of meaning that the writer does not say but expects the reader to complete in his mind, remembers Sait Faik's "Silk Handkerchief" and Chekhov and says the following: "personal, indispensable to the intense speed of the world, reads put esler".

Perhaps the most important point of the text has to do with what is not said, "reads es" is important not only for Virginia Woolf and James Joyce, but also for Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, Oğuz Atay and Tomris Uyar, who wrote in an exchange of influences with these two writers and with each other, thus forming a "constellation". This talk will talk about this constellation created by the reflections of Woolf and Joyce's writing techniques and worlds in Turkish literature.
