Amida, If I Can't Come To You

Arat does not object to what is human, but doesn't the problem lie in what is human? The problem lies in the drive itself that turns the child from being a child, the husband from being a husband, danger from being a danger, reason from being reason, shame from being shame, and conscience from being conscience. Diyarbakir brings out a woman like Amida, and Arat comes and steals the woman's heart... It's a strange situation, he thinks, I should be in one of the parks around Lake Leman in Geneva or on the Karel Bridge in Prague. Wherever, but not in Diyarbakir and not with Amida. He is not young enough to have crazy courage, and it is too late for ignorant courage.
This time, a novel from our master storyteller Özcan Karabulut. Karabulut opened a field of political literature for himself by reflecting his political life and opposition identity in his stories. Amida, If I Can't Come to You, is a novel that continues this line. Arat, the hero of the novel, goes to Diyarbakir to work on child workers. He calls a woman he meets and impresses there by the name of Amida, who once ruled the city... Difficult times await Arat among forbidden love, the problem of identity and belonging, the mystery of city life, and political conflicts. This is a heartbreaking novel that appeals to all conflicting segments in Turkey today, and it becomes clear from the very first lines that it will not please any of them; A work that will create controversy.
