One of the authors in our literature that wrote fiction from a socialist-realist
perspective is Burhan Günel. Günel broadly reflected his socialist realist orientation
into his short stories and narrated the life stories especially of the people from the
lower segments of the society with accounts based on solid observations. In his
narrative, he made frequent use of portraiture. One phenomenon narrated by the author
for depicting social conditions is the reality of “slums”. In the first chapter of this
analysis, the socialist realist perspective of Günel and in the logical framework of the
second chapter, the phenomenon of “slums” were focused on. In the third chapter of
this study, the author’s approach towards the reality of slums in his short stories was
discussed. In the fourth chapter, citations about life in slums were included from some
of Günel’s short stories, where the setting is Ankara, the city in which he spent a
significant part of his life.
