INTERVIEW WITH IŞIK ÖĞÜTÇÜ ON ORHAN KEMAL
On Wednesday, 10 December 2025, we welcomed the esteemed author Işık Öğütçü to our school. During the interview, the author provided comprehensive insights into Orhan Kemal’s literary legacy. He also shared fascinating details about the significant turning points in Orhan Kemal’s life, his approach to writing, and answered questions from our students about the book Önce Ekmek.
This meeting, which was extremely productive for the students, was an event that re-emphasised the importance of Orhan Kemal in the social memory. We would like to thank the esteemed Işık Öğütçü for this wonderful discussion, who also signed our students’ books at the end of the event.
