Description
A remarkable peculiarity emerges in Ildiz’s very short stories – a quality that can almost be regarded as a hallmark of this literary form: as soon as the reading of a story ends, its real journey begins with the readers. In other words, instead of anticipating the plot in four or five sentences or in one or two passages, these stories leave it to the readers to further develop the story within themselves. Only through this do they reach their true completion. It is a fascinating effect that the author wholeheartedly dedicates herself to again and again.
The selection of themes, which the book deliberately presents without a formal or thematic categorization, also – like the editorial design – is reminiscent of the timeline of a social media account of our time. Perhaps this is also the result of a conscious decision: a decision that aims to be in tune with the intellectual and social world of contemporary Kurdish readers.
From social and political issues to deeply personal experiences and the small worries of everyday life, these stories span a wide arc. With great narrative artistry, Ildiz succeeds in creating a dense panorama of our reality – diverse, fragmentary, contradictory, and yet at the same time truthful and comprehensive.
