Abstract

This article traces the role of the züppe (dandy) through important changes in the conventions of the Turkish novel and in its subsequent reinvention in Adalet Ağaoğlu's Üç Beş Kişi (A Few People). It asks why the character of the dandy—so enmeshed in the socio-political context of the late Ottoman period—has successfully survived the aesthetic challenges and new social horizons placed before it in the 20th and 21st centuries. By way of an answer, this article will argue that the dandy's legacy has become intertwined with dominant modes of narration as well with approaches to literary criticism, thus being uniquely situated within literature as well as having the possibility to speak about it.
