Özet:

Tutunamayanlar, written by Oguz Atay in 1968-1969 and first published in 1971-1972 as two volumes, is a significant example of a dialogic novel in the history of Turkish literature with its rich intertextuality. Tutunamayanlar was first translated into English by Sevin Seydi simultaneously while the Turkish book was being written. The English translation of the book, The Disconnected, was published in 2017, in London by Olric Publishing. The current article investigates the outcome of this translation process in which the author and the translator were in a close friendship. The methodology of this study was built on an interdisciplinary framework combining intertextuality and translation studies by looking at the relationship between translator and author. This relationship also has led to the translator’s visibility which is an important area of research in Translation Studies. Atay and Seydi was in the same house during the translation process, sharing their ideas and their feelings with each other. The article aims to define the main feature of this relationship between the translator and the author as intertextuality, by using the Russian literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of dialogism. The purpose of this article is analysing a rare translation process in which the author and the translator worked under the same roof, producing their outputs simultaneously. So, this article focuses on the translation which is materialized through a triple dialogue between text, writer and translator. In this study we used an interdisciplinary framework by combining intertextuality and translation studies by looking at the relationship between translator and author.
