Radikal – Debut

Erdem Genç, Camgöz Kitap, short stories, 128 pages

‘Debut’ is the first book by Erdem Genç, born in 1983. We congratulate him. Genç, who writes for various music magazines and also has a band, tries with this book to build a bridge between music and literature, the two fields he is interested in. The book takes its name from the French word ‘Debut’, meaning “pioneer, first”. We can say that the thirteen stories in the book generally focus on the states of youth. A love story set on the metro, extraordinary adventures that unfold via Facebook, and unexpected events befalling characters who lead ordinary lives are some of the subjects we encounter in the stories. In his stories Genç also tries to keep the reader's interest alive through surprises and tricks.
