Japonya Şiir Dergisi
Ne olacak bu Japonya'nın hali? Türkiye’de dergiciliğin selameti, birbirine mektup yazabilecek konumdaki insanlar tarafından belirleniyor hâlâ. Dolayısıyla her dergi, sahibini arayan bir mektup mesabesinde. Şiirden doğan hükmünü tek tek okuyucusunda yürürlüğe sokan, dünyanın ve siyasetin sığlığına karşı bir hayat aralığı açan, uzun ama soluk alıp veren mektuplar gibi düşünülmelidir bir dergi ve bir derde deva olmak için değil, o derdi ortaklaşa sürdürebilmek için çıkarılırsa kayda değerdir. Biz her dergiyi kimi zaman satır satır okunmuş kimi zaman daha kötü günler için saklanmış birer mektup olarak görüyoruz. Japonya’nın esbab-ı mucibesi biraz da budur.

The Silence of Mohammed
Before becoming the prophet of Islam, Mohammed was a simple man of flesh and blood who started life as a poor orphan in the Arabian city of Mecca. Through his union with Khadija, he became a prosperous merchant and caravaneer. He was visited by God at the age of forty to become a prophet and visionary statesman. 'The Silence of Mohammed' is the story of "this exceptional man" (Bachi). Based on historical fact and legends, the novel presents a fictionalised account of the life of Mohammed told by four key characters: his first wife, Khadija his closest friend, Caliph Abu Bakr the fiery warrior, General Khalid and, his last love Aisha, who became his wife at the age of nine.
Vanity Bagh
Inspired by the legend of Abu Hathim, aging don of Vanity Bagh, Imran Jabbari and his friends form a gang called 51⁄2 Men in their mohalla of Vanity Bagh. They are hired to dispense a batch of stolen scooters to different corners of the city; not until the city rocks with scooter bombs does Imran realize that they have been involved in a terrorist act. One of the prime accused in the 11/11 serial blasts, Imran is destined to live in captivity for the next fourteen years. He kills time plotting jailbreak until he is assigned to the bookmaking section of the prison. The new job equips him with a new facility: each time he opens a book and stares at its blank pages, he sees them scribbled with tales from Vanity Bagh. Imran thus traces the history of animosity between Vanity Bagh, nicknamed Little Pakistan, and Mehendi, a Hindu neighbourhood.The solitude and reflection that characterize Imran’s narrative is undercut by communal tension and a simmering violence. Touched with a wistful small-town feeling in the midst of a teeming city, Vanity Bagh is a darkly comic tale.
