By a pleasant coincidence, I ended last year with the exquisite novel "Beauty is a wound", also published by Domingo Kitap. Fortunately, my chance to save the best for last continued this year as well, and I bid farewell to this year with a very naive, very sincere and yet powerful story book from Domingo️ Undoubtedly, writing a good story is more difficult than writing a good novel. You will keep your story short, and you will be able to capture a delicious taste in the heart and mind with your unique literary style, by leaving many details open-ended that the novel reader is used to. Yıyun Li, the author of the Thousand Year Prayer, managed to achieve this success by assuming that he got rid of the political, cultural and familial pressures he was stuck in and turned into a different person with the "new language and voice" he found in America, where he came from China to do his doctorate in the field of Immunology. "The Thousand Year Prayer", which he wrote by sincerely telling his own truth, unconditionally deserves to be the story that gives its name to the book.
Even though the author did not write his stories in his own language, he enriched them with proverbs, idioms and mythological terms from Chinese culture and built them on his own principle of fatalism, thus succeeding in becoming a qualified bridge connecting his country's past and present.
If you ask me, “Death Is Not a Bad Joke If Done Well” and “The Princess of Nebraska” manage to stand out from other stories.
I wish all my friends health and happiness in the new year. Give beautifully written stories a chance in 2022 and don't forget to add a book to your gift list for yourself!
