Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

“Ben aslında bu okuma grubuna annem için katılmıştım. Annemi yatıştırabilmek için. Annem öleli çok oldu ama ben hâlâ onu yatıştırmaya çalışıyorum. Martın sonlarından kasımın ortalarına doğru elimi uzatıyorum, annemin sonbaharda iyice zayıflamıs saçına bademyağı sürüyorum, kulağına bir şeyler fısıldıyorum. Gören ninni diye düşünür, dua diye düşünür. Oysa ne ninni ne de dua…” Yüze doğum lekesi gibi yerleşmiş bir gülümseme, neyi saklar? Bir eşelek gibi kalakalmanın hüznünü bilmeyene, onu anlatabilir misiniz? Yalnızlığın ucunu sivriltmek, bir kısır döngüyü kusursuz kılar mı? Eşyanın kurduğu mahkeme, hangi hatıraya adil olabilir? Bahsettiğini görülmez, anlaşılmaz kılan, seyrelten cümlelerle, birbirimize aslında ne anlatırız? Kendini bulmanın yolu, hep bir başkasından mı geçer? Doğum Lekesi Gibi Bir Gülümseme, Barış Bıçakçı’nın barışması zor, idaresi zor, çünkü idraki zor duyguları usulca yokladığı bir öykü demeti.
Seventeen-year-old Çaglar is just another apathetic teenager--except when it comes to his sister, Çigdem, who he believes is the world's most beautiful and brilliant nine-year-old. Determined to display her genius, Çaglar grooms Çigdem's talent into a perfect Michael Jackson impersonation and pursues a sure route to fame: YouTube. Tragically, Çaglar's efforts are sabotaged by a little incident internationally known as the Taksim riots. Now it seems that everyone's too busy watching the people's uprising unfold to click on Çigdem's video. That leaves Çaglar only one recourse: he will have to use the riots to his advantage. After all, who wouldn't want to watch a child doing the moonwalk against the backdrop of political unrest? But as Çaglar strives to showcase his sister, he finds himself pulled into the heart of the uprising and discovers that he may just have talent of his own. From bestselling author Emrah Serbes comes a hilarious, poignant story of a teen's struggle to find his place and launch his sister's star amid Turkey's real-life fight for freedom.
