Another Kemal well known in Turkey is Orhan Kemal, one of Turkey’s first socialist

realists. His prolific works deal with the poor, the underdog, and the proletariat in

rough works that have been consistently popular with Turkish readers. His The Idle

Years (1949), The Prisoners (1954), and Gemile (1952) are now available in English.
