HERE AND THERE...

I want to talk about books, I love reading, and nowadays, I'm reading 'Kinyas ve Kayra' from Hakan Günday. He is known as one of the writer of underground literature and I recognized him with his 'AZ' book. 


I want to talk about his life. Hakan Günday was born in Rhodes in 1976. He finished his primary education in Brussels. After attending Ankara Tevfik Fikret High School, he studied at the Department of French Translator in the Faculty of Literature of Hacettepe University. He then transferred to Universite Libre de Bruxelles....

Az (Few)
Derdâ, an eleven years old girl who lives in the east of Turkey, is sold to a Muslim cult leader’s son as wife. The cult is based in London so Derdâ is brought there. She begins to live in an appartment as a prisonner for five years. Her 28 years old husband rapes and beats her. And then, an English man moves in to her next door. Derdâ hopes that he will save her from her hell. She wears her burka as usual and rings his door. But the English man’s life is based on BDSM. He does’nt allow her to show her face and Derdâ enters in the world of a fantasy where she can beat men while wearing the burka. Derda, an eleven years old boy who lives in İstanbul, works in a cemetery where he cleans the graves. For complex reasons he’s intrested in only one grave for years and years. And then, Derda begins to work for people who publish books illegaly. And one day, he discovers that the name on that grave, is on the cover of a book. He learns how to read and begins to read the book. And his life changes forever. Few, is the story of two children who are meant to break the walls around them and coming together.


I advise you to read this book. I couldn't think them to be separated. If you read 'AZ' then you can understand what I mean. :)
