Description
"You" is a novel of loneliness – a novel about days full of pain, suffering, and inner turmoil. At the same time, it tells of a time when new avenues for writing and thinking are opening up. In such days, one needs a window, a foothold, a light – especially for someone who is searching for hope between the darkness and confinement of a prison.
The main character of the novel embarks on a journey through the deep history, culture, language, and folklore of Kurdistan. In doing so, she becomes a seeker of the words and voices of the Kurdish language – drawing strength and breath from them. Amidst the harsh and desolate daily life in prison, even a small beetle becomes her companion.
Memories of childhood and grandmother's stories lend warm, colorful, and almost pastoral images to the novel. Motifs of the Orient combine with modern Western literary techniques. Language, culture, folk traditions, architecture, and the geographical traditions of Kurdish women unfold like an old painting before the eyes of the readers.
Even though the novel is marked by pain and longing, it ultimately leaves a quiet spark of hope and inner strength. "You" feels like a beginning – and at the same time, like the promise of more powerful works to come.
