Editor's Note:
"Necati Cumalı" "Susuz Yaz"ı 1960 yılında yazdı. Kitapta yer alan öyküler, Cumalı'nın avukatlık yıllarında edindiği vurucu gözlemlerinden kaynaklanıyor, toplumumuzun özellikle kırsal kesiminde, "Habil ile Kabil" söylencesinden beri varolan şiddet yasalarının acımasız görüntülerini sergiliyordu. Cumalı, kitaba adını veren "SUSUZ YAZ"da edebiyat alanında ilk kez suyun bölüşülmesinin önemine değinmişti. 1964 yılında öyküden sinemaya aktarılan filmi ALTIN AYI ile ödüllerdiren Berlin Film Festivali Jürisi, kararında gerekçe olarak konusunun taşıdığı önemi gösteriyordu. 20 yıl arayla 80'lerde Su Yılı ilan eden UNESCO, petrolün yerini 21. yüzyılda suyun alacağı, suyun bölüşülmesinden çıkacak anlaşmazlıkların savaşlara yol açabileceği konusunda bütün üyelerini uyarıyordu. ---------------------------------------------------------------Susuz Yaz, Necati CUMALI'nın, öykülerden oluşan, adını da içindeki bir öyküden alan kitabıdır. Yazar, avukatlık yaptığı yıllarda, hem memleketi olması hem de yaşamının önemli bir kısmını orada geçirmesi nedeniyle, İzmir'in Seferihisar ve Urla ilçelerine bağlı köylere ait deneyim ve izlenimlerini sunar bu kitapta. Yazılanlar her ne kadar kurgu olsa da, öykülerdeki isimler değiştirilmiş olsa da, söz konusu öykülerde yaşananlar gerçeğin ta kendisidir. Susuz Yaz'ı okuyup da Urla ve Seferihisar bölgesine gidenlerin gözünde hemen kitabın satırları canlanırken, bölgeyi iyi bilen biri için de kitabı okuyunca civarın dağları, dereleri ve ormanlarının canlı bir şekilde gözünün önüne geleceği kesindir.Toplam onbir kısa öyküden oluşan kitapta, Necati Cumalı, gerçekçi köy hikayelerini toplamıştır. Toprak, su davaları, çekişmeler, kıskançlıklar, öç almalar, kavgalar, cinayetler, zorbalıklar ve köylümüzün, kasabalımızın bu konulardaki tutumu anlatılıyor bu hikayelerde. Aynı zamanda şair de olan yazarın bu özelliği konuları anlatış tarzına da yansımış görünmektedir. Olayları o kadar şiirsel bir dille anlatıyor ki okuyucu ister istemez kendisini olayın içinde buluyor. Kitaba adını veren Susuz Yaz'ın yanında on öykü daha vardır: Öç, Yenilmeyen, Dağlı ve Muharrem, Bıçak, Kaatil, Gülsüm Kıza Ağıt, Esma ile İsmail, Aktör, Aksinin Biri ve Selim'i Anarım.Tiyatroya da uyarlanan Susuz Yaz'ın konusu adından da anlaşılacağı üzere "su"dur; Anadolu'da hep var olan, yüzyılımızın son çeyreğinde sınırları da aşıp uluslar arası, savaş çıkartacak kadar önemli bir hale gelen su paylaşımıdır. Mevcut suyun herkese yetmemesi üzerine, tarlasından su çıkan iki kardeş suyu sahiplenir. Çıkan su kavgası kardeşlerden birinin cinayet işlemesiyle sonuçlanır ve diğeri hapse girer. Ceza evine düşen kardeş evlidir ancak gelenek olduğu üzere suçu küçük üstlenir. Bir süre içerdeki kardeşiyle ilgilenen ağabey daha sonra geline göz koyduğu için kardeşinin ölüm haberinin geldiği yalanını bütün köye yayar ve nihayet böylece çaresiz kalan gelinle evlenir. Ancak yıllar sonra ceza evinden beklenmedik şekilde çıkıp gelen küçük kardeş olayları öğrenince kıyamet kopar.Sinema uyarlamasında aynı adama âşık ana-kız rekabeti olarak gösterilen Öç'te ise köyün işsiz güçsüz haytasından kızını korumaya çalışan *****n durumu ve olaylarla hiç de ilintisi olmayan insanların trajedisi anlatılmaktadır. Ağabeyinden (Şerif Ali) farklı olarak gözü hep işinde olan küçük Mahmut aşk olayının en hak etmeyen kurbanı olarak, kendisini ve erkekliğini ispatlamak zorunda hisseden, bunu daha çok köylülerin ırz, namuz doldurmalarıyla yapan, kızın (Hacer) erkek kardeşi tarafından öldürülür. Köylerimizde yaygın olarak görülen tipik bir kız kaçma-kaçırılma ve bunu takip eden namus cinayeti olayıdır.Yenilmeyen'de her şeyini yenilmez bir güreş devesine yatıran bir köylünün kıskançlıklar sonucu devesinin öldürülmesiyle beraber Batı Anadolu'daki deve güreşi geleneği en ince ayrıntısı ve terminolojine kadar okurlara sunulmaktadır. Anlatımdaki şiirsellik bir devenin ölümünü okur vicdanında bir insanınki kadar acıklı ve hüzünlü hale getirmektedir. Bıçak ise insanımızın silaha düşkünlüğünü işleyen, bir bıçağın köy çocuğunun arkadaşları ve büyükleri nezdindeki imajını nasıl güçlendirdiğini anlatan kısa öykülerden bir başkasıdır.Dağlı ve Muharrem, Katil ile Gülsüm Kıza Ağıt öykülerinde sırasıyla zorbalık, kabadayılık, eğitimsiz ve kocasına tamamen mahkum olan kadının dramı ve bütün bunların karşısında sürekli bastırılan, horlanan, aslında pervasızlığa saygısından dolayı baş vurmayan insanların çileden çıkıp olanlara dur demesi ve kendini savunma ihtiyacı hissetmesi örnekleriyle anlatılmaktadır. Ezilen insanların haklılığını belgelemek istercesine söz konusu hikayelerde cinayet işleyenler yazar tarafından "katil olmalarına rağmen" o şekilde sunulmaktadır ki okuyucu farkında olmadan sempati duyar onlara.Aktör ve Aksinin Biri öykülerinde ortak olarak insanlarımızın zayıflıkları, içinde bulundukları maddi güçlükler ve bu güçlükler nedeniyle kolayca yoldan çıkarılmaları, devlet memurlarına rüşvet verilerek ulusun ortak değerlerinin nasıl katledildiği anlatı...
