Sevda Deniz K's stories sometimes tell about pain like broken glass that suddenly appears in life, sometimes about the silence that 'melts in the sun's light', and sometimes about the secret in the smell of rain that we think we are familiar with. He does this with such a simple expression... He can portray a magnificent world with sentences consisting of a few words, sometimes two words, or even a single word. He can strikingly explain how the big city leaves people alone, how people become alienated from each other, and the value of worrying about someone else's problems, with the perception that 'the devil is in the details'. Sevda Deniz K's stories carry the core of creating a unique language and world within modern Turkish storytelling.

In her stories, Sevda Deniz K. focuses on the world of lonely people whose existence is damaged and living within themselves, and puts the unknowns of that world on the table of dissection through the language of stories. These stories may be easy to read; However, it is not that easy to get out of the world that stories take us to. With this first book, Sevda Deniz K. tries to open a space for herself in the rapidly developing stages of the modern story.
