life and work

The studied political scientist presented his first volume of short stories with Hürriyet Love Express (2005). The reviewer Dirk Fuhrig from the Frankfurter Rundschau spoke of “German-Turkish post-pop literature”, the daily newspaper (Maik Söhler) saw “text fragments that reflect the fragments of consciousness of the characters in Hürriyet Love Express , these timeless, placeless and identityless night figures , amazingly fair ”. In 2011 his novel Mein Name ist Revolution was published . Moritz Scheper wrote in the Tagesspiegel that Ayata's novel was a "stroke of luck"; “Every word, every sound fits perfectly, is precisely eavesdropped.” Lena Bopp wrote in the FAZ: “Ayata's book is a beautiful homage to wild life, to the big city and good friends, to everyday life between intoxication and repentance, which knows no existential but metaphysical defects, it is a declaration of love and bankruptcy in one. ”The book is“ a wonderful German-Turkish unification novel ”, as DIE ZEIT found. In October 2015 his novel Ruhm und Ruin was published by Verbrecher Verlag . The novel is based on the play League of the Damned , which İmran Ayata staged together with director Neco Çelik in 2013 at Ballhaus Naunynstraße in Berlin.

Together with Bülent Kullukcu , Ayata released the CD Songs of Gastarbeiter Vol. 1 on Trikont in October 2013 .

He had previously published literary contributions in magazines and edited volumes in Germany and Turkey.

From the perspective of intercultural literary studies, Ayata is one of the "literary representatives of a post-colonial, hybrid mixed culture" in Germany.
