In 2000, Saltürk's short story Winterswijk was included in the anthology Morgen Land: Latest German Literature , which, according to the publishing company S. Fischer Verlag, is a collection of the literary "avant-garde of the ethnic fringes of German society". A publication in another anthology, 20 under 30: Young German Authors (2002), which wanted to present “twenty of the most interesting young German authors”, followed. The writer, journalist and editor of the book Martin Brinkmann highlighted Saltürk's contribution in the taz as "Ruhrpott-Rapp-Proleten-Text" in the most positive sense. Saltürk is later named, despite his sparse publication activity, as a “formative” young author of his generation. German and Turkish literary scholars worked at the University of Istanbul a . a. so how in Saltürk's texts “terms that are (actually) highly praised and praised are caricatured in a satirical and ironic way”. The narrator Saltürk, who was active in the field of novels in addition to his “short stories”, at times also completed well-known author readings: at the 2001 Braunschweig “Troia Festival” for circus , theater and performances , for example, he performed with Jamal Tuschick and Orkun Ertener on.
