Abstract
Various elements are involved in the formation of an author's literary personality. The first of these elements is the author's own personality. As a person, the fact that a person develops himself in an intellectual, moral and spiritual sense and achieves a certain level is considered to be the main element affecting the products that this person will put forward. Based on the stories of Mustafa Kutlu, we get an idea of his literary personality and, of course, his personality, and we see that he has created a strong identity before his stories. Kutlu, as a thinker who questions, criticizes and observes justice in doing so, has no bigane left to the social events that he has experienced or witnessed. Considering the 1960s-80s, when his literary life began and developed, we can see that he witnessed the depression periods in which Turkish society was located, and he also related this to his stories. In the light of these evaluations and determinations, we see that Kutlu is a name that fills important gaps in Turkish storytelling. Kutlu, who took a rather separate place in the Turkish story after 1970 in terms of the issues he covered and his style, drew attention to the religious, cultural and identity corruptions occurring in society and individuals by describing the change and transformation of Turkish society in a realistic style. In his stories, he especially blessed the countryside where tradition is assumed to live / live by giving space to the changes and transformations that people who came by migration have undergone in the city in a bad way. It can be said that the village is a place of virtue and the city is a place of alienation in Kutlu's stories, which observe depressions in urban people who have been defeated, torn from traditional values and life, whose mind and psychology have been tarumar. Keywords: Literary Personality, Social Realism, Turkish Storytelling
