her şeye…. tek insanoğluna…
Şu insanlar, şu dünyada var oldukça her şeye akıl erdirecekler, kartalın uçuşuna, karıncanın yuvasına, ayın, günün doğuşuna, batışına, ölüme, kalıma, her şeye akıl sır erdireceklerdir. Karanlığa, ışığa, her şeye, her şeye akıl erdirecekler, tek insanoğluna güçleri yetmeyecek. Onun sırrına ulaşamayacaklar.
The Unbearable Dirtiness of Being A “Fraud”
Puan vermedi
During the six days I read the book, I was exposed to so many fraud stories/news that I was amazed I have never read a novel where the protagonist defended himself from the perspective of a fraud. The first story I matched perfectly was 
Küçük Ağaç'ın Eğitimi, author Forrest Carter, real name Asa Earl Carter. I'm sure the partially autobiographical nature of the book, published in '76, affected sales. It would later be revealed that the author was a racist and had changed his name/life story simply to sell more, and opinions would change. When I first learned this, I wondered what he'd done, how he'd done it, and how he'd been exposed. What I was most curious about was why he wanted to hide himself. After a little research, it was clear that this decision stemmed from a combination of motivations. But giving an interview (using an accent) as if he were of Native American heritage was a sign that things had gotten out of hand. It's a shame there wasn't a real person behind such a huge success.
The same goes for Juniper, the character of #k:390059. She was the supposed owner of a great success, always knowing she was wrong, and never content with it. The process progressed in a fluctuating manner, but even in her happiest moments, it gnawed at her from within. How can anyone endure this? She couldn't just say enough and let go, she sank deeper and deeper. It consumed her. While reading, I kept hoping she'd admit her mistakes and return to the right path, but frankly, she didn't; she didn't abandon her mistakes. Her ambition took over. For a while, I thought the author could have shared her character's deeper feelings, but someone who makes such decisions can't see deeper than they are. Because she's fighting to "justify" her own darkness, she can't shed light on her darker sides. Even
