A Town Without A Crazy Analysis
In the short-story Wanted: A Town Without a Crazy, a very odd yet humorous view of Turkish culture is expressed. I believe that Hilmi, the “Crazy” of his town, is in fact not crazy but extremely intelligent and cunning. Him convincing an entire town that he is completely disconnected from their world and lives in his own, proves this even further. Hilmi conned them in such a way that the townspeople themselves did not even know it.
To some, Hilmi may be disgracing himself by acting so selfish, however the lack of desire for others opinions of himself makes what he is doing more acceptable. Through acting insane, Hilmi provides money for his family, entertainment to the public, and the luxury of not living in the stressful modern world.
