Losers' Tale, the first of the Istanbul Quartet series, is widely considered to be novelist Hikmet Temel Akarsu's magnum opus. It met with great critical acclaim in 1998, the year it was published. It lived up to be one of the most important books of the counterculture in the following years. Today, it is a cult handiwork describing the economical depression of the 1990s and the grunge movement in Turkey.In this novel, Akarsu depicts a very extraordinary, conspicuous and even startling picture of Istanbul's less known spots and domains. This first book of the Istanbul Quartet series, written in a style the author nicknamed as Rock 'n' Roman (Turkish for Rock 'n' Novel), focuses mainly on Kadikoy and its surrounding district. It talks about people who frequent underground locations, meet at a bar called Decadence, and while suffering from an inevitable dejection, choose to be rebels along the lines of the Losers' Club which they identify themselves with.
