Blurred Water Games

He always dreamed of a train; A train that he ran with his suitcase in his hand, but could not get on, and the squeak of its wheels was getting weaker and weaker. Whenever he reached that station with a pale face and out of breath, they showed him the railway extending with steel sparkles; The train has already left.

Cemil Kavukçu, whom we know with his stories, appears before the reader with his second novel, Suda Blurred Games, six years after his first novel, Return. In this novel, Kavukçu ironically reflects the big city loneliness, disharmony, and turmoil in the inner world of a rural university student. Tarik is not at peace with himself and his surroundings, and the only thing he can identify with in a city to which he is a stranger is the polluted stream that runs through the middle of the city, with no living creatures living in its waters, and which he calls Kirat. The fact that he has not had a sexual experience exacerbates his problems. While he watches porn movies in old cinemas and loses his self-confidence, his mind becomes as cloudy as the tea that divides the city in two. Cemil Kavukçu, who also benefits from the cinema technique, offers his readers a reading feast with his poetic language and striking narrative.
