Pantelis, A Trilogy on Mental Illness
Pantelis’ is the first of the longish stories on mental well-being. In it, the character Pantelis, wades through his life, from London’s Stamford Hill to a mountain village in Cyprus, in a stream of consciousness, within a historical setting. The second story is Gillianne’s; the third is Patryk’s. Each story, complete, is also interlinked with the others. Characters who ‘wink’ at the reader in one, are developed in the next. As their tragic lives enfold, Pantelis and Gillianne recount the events that bind them together from their own perspective. In Patryk, the journey to a pub on the edge of Chingford, is as cumbersome as is his tumultuous life.
DEPREM HİKAYELERİ
“…Elleri ne kadar da sıcaktı babamın. Tüm yüreğime, benliğime kimliğime, çocukluğuma, genç kızlığıma sirayet eden bu sıcaklık bambaşka bir sıcaklıktı. O sıcaklığı hissettikçe tüm dünyam aradığı dengeye kavuşuyordu. Ait olduğum yerdeydim, babamın ellerinde. Babamın elleri meğerse ne kadar sıcakmış. Baharmış babamın elleri, nisanmış. Sanki diriydim ben, sanki ben değildim beton blokların altında cansız bir şekilde yatan. Babam ellerimi tutuyordu. Vatanmış babamın elleri, vatan…”
Little Turkey in Great Britain
LITTLE TURKEY IN GREAT BRITAIN by Ibrahim Sirkeci, Tuncay Bilecen, Yakup Costu, Saniye Dedeoglu, M. Rauf Kesici, B. Dilara Seker, Fethiye Tilbe, K. Onur Unutulmaz is about Turkish movers in Britain. Turkish migration to British Isles has a long history but sizeable diaspora communities and enclaves of Turkish origin have emerged only in the last four to five decades. Earlier groups arrived were Cypriots fleeing the troubled island in the Eastern Mediterranean whilst Turks and Kurds of the mainland were not even considering the UK as a destination. This book is about these contemporary movers from Turkey, their movement trajectories, practices, and integration in Britain. Eight researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds and methodological schools came together to do the ground work for the students of this emerging subfield of human mobility studies. Turkey is now at the forefront of accommodating large scale inward mobility mostly due to the crisis in Syria and Iraq.
The Butterfly Bruises
The Butterfly Bruises is a collection of poems and stories regarding animals, the ocean, miscommunication, childhood, Northeastern versus Southern American culture, family, nature versus technology, and the imagination of the introvert. In these lyrical texts, a couple sleepwalks together, a therapist is imagined as a snake, a manatee befriends a widow, a ghost haunts an old Charleston home, and New York City becomes its own character. Stepping into these pages brings about new worlds—some full of magic, others full of mystery. Rewiev Quotes “Literary readers seeking writings replete with wake-up calls for change will find The Butterfly Bruises to be reflective, visionary, and hard to pu...
The Children of Seven Climates
If a bomb kills everyone on its path, who should we blame? Should it be the person who exploded it or the one who invented it in the first place for the sake of science? Who can say that science always has advanced humanity? If a bomb killed all adults on earth and left innocent children and animals behind alive, would it still be considered an unfortunate event? Merrymaker- 15 was its name. It was invented as a bomb to be exploded experimentally in Congo Basin. At first, people watched it explode and display some nice fireworks in the sky. Who would know it was going to kill everyone over 15 years old? Who would know the children in the whole wide world would wake up one day, and their parents wouldn’t answer their calls? It is time for children to hold power in their tiny hands. It is time for them to take over the world covered with evil by the previous generations. If you have ever wondered what a place the world would be if the children ruled the world, you will find the answers in this book. It is because, in this story, children are the only people who are left alive. This is the story of a guilty world handed over to innocent children, from Dystopia to Utopia.
A Useless Man
With all the wit and brilliance of Chekhov, a distinctive collection of lyrical stories from Sait Faik Abasıyanık, “Turkey’s greatest short story writer” (The Guardian) Sait Faik Abasıyanık’s fiction traces the interior lives of strangers in his native Istanbul: ancient coffeehouse proprietors, priests, dream-addled fishermen, poets of the Princes’ Isles, lovers and wandering minstrels of another time. The stories in A Useless Man are shaped by Sait Faik’s political autobiography – his resistance to social convention, the relentless pace of westernization, and the ethnic cleansing of his city – as he conjures the varied textures of life in Istanbul and its surrounding islands. The calm surface of these stories might seem to signal deference to the new Republic’s restrictions on language and culture, but Abasıyanık’s prose is crafted deceptively, with dark, subversive undercurrents. “Reading these stories by Sait Faik feels like finding the secret doors inside of poems,” Rivka Galchen wrote. Beautifully translated by Maureen Freely and Alexander Dawe, A Useless Man is the most comprehensive collection of Sait Faik’s stories in English to date.
