Kuru Kız is the last novel of Ayfer Tunç, who started her writing career in newspapers and magazines in the 1980s; It deals with the difficulties of being a woman in a society that is selfish, manipulative, hypocritical, greedy, dishonest and commodifies women. The symbolic narrative of the novel allows for a thematic analysis of the work that can be read with Freud's Oidipus Complex, Kristeva's "ab-ject" and Arendt's "banality of evil" concepts. He includes in his fiction how greed, hypocrisy and selfishness make a society challenging - especially for women - and the ordinary evils in the flow of daily life, repressed personalities and innate evils, with the inner voice of the Girl that reminds her of "disgust". With its message, the novel suggests women to "take action" as a way out. Women's awareness is not enough to achieve peace in their own lives. Because they have to courageously implement the actions that will make the necessary changes. Evil is everywhere, but a life where we encounter it less is also possible.
