Summary/Abstract: Alaturka Münzevi, whose main profession is the district governor; However, it is a novel written by Şenol Turan, who seems to be mentioned among the last period writers of our literature with the stories and novels he wrote. Turan's second book and his first novel, Alaturka Münzevi, who welcomed literature with his story-style work titled Deli Adamlar Ülkesi in 2015, is a remarkable work in that it was written with a "I narrator and singular perspective", which the authors do not appreciate much due to their limitations in expression. The self-narrator, who has a narrower perspective than the observant narrator, usually appears in autobiographical works or diary-type texts. Despite the absence of these features mentioned in Alaturka Münzevi, some applications made to eliminate the limitations of the narrator in question through the use of the self-narrator and singular point of view have made the work worth studying.
