Berci Kristin Trash Tales

One winter night, on a hill where huge cans bring and empty the city's garbage during the day, eight huts were set up by lantern light, a short distance from the garbage piles. In the morning, the first snow of the year fell on the huts.
Latife Tekin's second novel, Berci Kristin Garbage Tales, begins with these words and tells the story of a shantytown that ends up between an industrial neighborhood and a large landfill. This cult novel, which reveals on the one hand those who migrate from the countryside to the city but still hold on to their old traditions, customs and myths, also tells the story of those who become alienated, worn out and corrupted in order to survive, adapt to the city and take advantage of opportunities. And with an extraordinary style woven with magical stories, elegies, quatrains and nursery rhymes, an unwavering eye and a warm compassion.
First published in 1984, Berci Kristin Garbage Tales created a great repercussion in the literary world, was quickly translated into many languages and was met with international acclaim. This unique text, the product of a tremendous imagination, mastery of language and sensitivity, is considered one of Latife Tekin's masterpieces.
