About Hasan Ali Toptaş
- Hasan Ali Toptas (born 15 October 1958) is a prominent Turkish novelist and short story writer.
- His first short story book Bir Gülüsün Kimligi (The Identity of A Laugh) was published in 1987.
- An important Turkish scholar, Yildiz Ecevit nicknames him "a postmodern modernist" and calls him "a Kafka in Turkish literature", in her work Türk Romaninda Postmodernist Açilimlar (The Postmodernist Expansion in Turkish Literature).
- In fact, Hasan Ali Toptas's 1999 Cevdet Kudret Literature Award winner Bin Hüzünlü Haz is, on the one hand, a postmodern novella in terms of pluralism, metafiction and intertextuality.
- On the other hand, it contains a lot of kafkaesque elements in terms of depicting an absurd, surreal and paradoxically mundane reality.
