"I have seen the human in
the stories of İnci Aydin. She has explained the human in a neutral way.
Terentius said: "Nothing which is humane is alien to me"; so is İnci
Aydin, she is not unfamiliar to anything that is humane."
(Cengiz Gündoğdu)
"Inci Aydin uses the
traditional story-telling as well, but it is seen that she is in a constant
search and she achieves this in her work. More than that; she does not skip the details
and catches the form appropriate with the content, combining her experiences
with stories at a right spot". (Güngor Gençay)
"The stories of İnci Aydin will make the readers happy, especially
in such a period where people who do not know Turkish kill the stories." (Ruşen Hakkı)
