How can a book have a simple and intense narrative at the same time? In fact, we can say that the emotions it makes us feel are intense rather than the style of expression.
In this book, Saraç tells us different aspects of life based on a total of seven stories. What they all have in common is; The fact that they take their subjects from family relationships. The "loneliness" within/in the lives of all the heroes, hidden in some and openly in others. We are witnessing. Everyone has a swamp in this life, some sink and some are saved. "Stories in which life breathes" on the back cover of the book. This sentence is so compatible with the book that it literally serves as a summary.
"Play Again" I had a little difficulty understanding the story called, or rather the end of the story. It's still not fully settled in my mind. It has a more abstract ending than other stories. Therefore, it can be placed on more than one concrete basis. "If Murat Says a Father" The story named has a more ordinary narrative and conclusion than the others. At the end of most of the stories, there is a conclusion as if a sudden turn is being made, but in this story, we can say that it is like a stop while going straight.
In fact, there is a lot to say when all the stories are examined one by one. In general, briefly; Fluent and impressive stories await us in this book.
