Yagmurdan Sonra Avrupa

Isimsiz bir anlaticinin dolastigi Avrupa topraklari harap haldedir; hem cografi hem de ahlaki acidan carpiklasmis, bicimsizlesmistir. Anlatici mesafeli bir ilgiyle, asla umutsuzluga ya da sinizme kapilmadan korkunc sahnelere tanik olur. 1967de ilk yayimlandiginda 20. yüzyilin kolektif bilincaltini ortaya koydugu öne sürülen eserde, ilk bakista Ikinci Dünya Savasi sonrasi Avrupa betimleniyormus gibi görünse de aslinda bitmek bilmeyen bir isgalin, sona ermemis bir savasin, bir türlü tam anlamiyla baslamayan bir yeniden insa sürecinin karmasasi hüküm sürer. Ismini Max Ernstin gerceküstü tablosundan alan Yagmurdan Sonra Avrupa, insanin yalnizca yikimi kabullenmeye calismakla kalmayip ruhunun dayanma gücüyle zulme karsi geldigini de gösteriyor. Deneysel edebiyata ilgi duyan herkes Yagmurdan Sonra Avrupayi okumali. Essiz bir kitap.Financial Times

Babel

By turns comic and tragic, tender and brutal, religious and blasphemous, the narrative rockets from London to the United States to Vietnam to interstellar space, familiar events are constantly fragmented and reset into new patterns, and ultimately Babel becomes a cautionary tale about the tragedy arising from attempting to build Utopia.

Buster

Never before published in standalone volume form since its original publication in the inaugural New Writers anthology in 1961, Buster is characteristically succinct and of huge literary merit, but in its autobiographical and pre-aleatoric style it provides, perhaps more importantly, a key to understanding the rest of Burns’s works.
