THE REPRESENTATION OF THE USA IN ALEV LYTLE CROUTIER’S SEVEN HOUSES
Öz
This article is about Turkish-American writer Alev Lytle Croutier’s historical novel, Seven Houses (2001). In her autobiographical elements carrying novel, Croutier focuses on Turkey and examines changes in Turkish culture as an outsider. The story of the Seven Houses starts with the Ottoman State’s last days and ends in 1997. Seven Houses chronicles the story of the Ipekci family, and the book’s primary focus is on the lives of four generations of Turkish women in that family. The women’s stories are narrated by the omniscient voices of seven houses. The houses within the book store the characters’ memories, dreams, secrets, and thoughts. The seven voices of these seven houses, all of which are situated in the biggest cities of Turkey, such as Izmir, Istanbul, Bursa, and Ankara, act as living characters in the form of a grand villa, a silk plantation, an apartment or a family dwelling. Within its historical context, Seven Houses narrates the new freedoms Turkish women had gained and thus reveals their changing perspectives. Within the book, the women characters struggle between the dominating forces of their past and the Western world, which will become their future. The representative of the Western world in the novel is the USA, and the characters’ understanding of the USA is crucial. For that reason, through a critical study of Croutier’s women characters, this study tries to describe what the USA represents for them and Croutier.
