After graduating from the Department of Western Languages and Literatures at Boğaziçi University, Oğuz Tecimen continued his studies in the Department of Philosophy at Galatasaray University, further deepening his work in the field. Alongside his editorial and translation practice, he has written for various literary platforms and has published three books.
His first book, Anakronik – Zamansız Bir Adamın Günlüğü (2019), is an experimental narrative that follows the stream of consciousness of an ageing intellectual, tracing his reflections on homelessness and madness through a series of monologues. His second book, Âdem Ademoğlu’nun Boşluğu (2022), examines the foundations of fiction while engaging with questions of nothingness, absence and existence across multiple layers. His third book, Varlıkölçer (2023), brings together texts that explore the possibilities of thinking through poetry, also featuring a critical essay on the affinities between poetry and philosophy.
Tecimen has compiled his writings on literature and philosophy under the title İçeriden Dışarıdan: Eleştirel Bir Heteropoetikaya Doğru, to be published in 2026. He is currently working on exile literature; his forthcoming novel explores entangled stories of exile and estrangement experienced by two Turkish writers whose paths cross in Paris, approaching these narratives through the existential and political tensions inherent to the act of writing.
Based in Istanbul, he works as a writer, editor and translator. Producing across fiction, essays, criticism, poetry and philosophy, he focuses on developing his literary practice through inter-genre and heterogeneous forms.
