(b. February 1973, Eskişehir) is a contemporary Turkish
writer. His first poems were published during his high school
years. Tuna Kiremitci's first novel Git Kendini Cok Sevdirmeden
("Leave Before I Fall in") came out in 2002 and excited great
interest and was acknowledged as one of the most important
literary events of that year. His other novels Yolda Uc Kisi
("Three On The Road", 2005), Dualar Kalicidir ("Prayers Stay
The Same", 2007) and Selanik'te Sonbahar ("Automn in Tsseloniki",
2011) have met with a wide audience.
His books that on the whole treat the tragedies of ordinary
people, the impasse of relationships between men and women
in today's Turkish society and the melancholy of getting old
with an expression that is mournful but that evokes a smile
here and there, have been appraised by Professor Gursel Aytac
as being examples in Turkish literature of "romantic irony"
(Hurriyet Gosteri: July-August 2005).
Novels of Kiremitçi published in 10 countries like France,
Brasil, Egypt and Chine.
