In Turkey, Günday is often associated with so-called underground literature. This interesting term for a literary genre is not fully recognized yet, which is why a connection to pop literature, or better known from English as literature of the Beat Generation, appears here. However, what about a New Popliterature in Turkey? Hakan Günday, who published his novel Kinyas ve Kayra eight years after Kracht, could be considered such a writer. Other works of New Popliterature can be classified as such under certain categories. The work of Swiss writer Christian Kracht, whose debut novel Faserland (EN: Fatherland), published in 1995, led to a new turning point in the literary scene. Originating after the end of World War II, it experienced a renaissance in the 1990s. The so-called “New Popliterature” (which has parallels with the “Beat Generation”) is regarded as a literary genre that is not clearly defined.
