A critical view on Seyit Kenjeahmetov's storywriting

The subject of our study is Seyit Kenjeahmetov, who is known especially for his critical stories and is an important name in Kazakh critical storytelling. There are twenty-four critical stories in total in the story book called Söylemedi Demeyin. Before examining the author and his stories that address various problems of the society, Kazakh storytelling and its development are explained under six headings in the introduction. In addition, since the work is of a critical type, the history of the formation of Kazakh literature criticism is shown under the introduction section with a separate title. Since the information obtained about the author is quite limited, it was deemed appropriate not to open a separate title. Information about his life and art is also presented in the introduction section. Due to the large number of stories studied, they were examined collectively under unit headings. For this reason, the second part was developed by dividing into three parts: structure, theme and narrative. In the third part of the study, there are stories translated into Türkiye Turkish. It is concluded with a conclusion section where the studies are evaluated. The work ended with photographs related to the author and bibliography.
