A Smile Like a Birthmark

A Smile Like a Birthmark Book Description “I actually joined this reading group for my mother. To soothe my mother. My mother has been dead for a long time, but I'm still trying to soothe her. From late March to mid-November, I reach out my hand, apply almond oil to my mother's hair, which has weakened in autumn, and whisper something into her ear. Those who see it think it's a lullaby, they think it's a prayer. However, neither a lullaby nor a prayer..." What does a smile on the face like a birthmark hide? Can you explain it to someone who doesn't know the sadness of standing like a donkey? Does sharpening loneliness make a vicious circle perfect? To which memory can the court established by things be fair? What do we actually tell each other with sentences that make what we are talking about invisible, incomprehensible, and diluted? Does the way to find yourself always go through someone else? A Smile Like a Birthmark is a collection of stories in which Barış Bıçakçı gently examines emotions that are difficult to reconcile with and difficult to manage because they are difficult to comprehend.
