Seni İçime Gömdüm

Some books have addicts.

I Buried You Inside Me is one of these types of books.

Kabrero, the main character of the novel who speaks in broken English, thinks as follows after taking his Indian wife's body down from the mountains:
"If he took his rifle in his hand, hung the cartridges diagonally across his chest, rode his horse on them, wandered around the streets of the town spreading death, plundering and burning everyone he came across. Even if it destroyed the town, it wouldn't frighten them as much as the love seen in their eyes does."
This novel appeals to addicts who believe in the predatory subtlety of love: Where would you bury your love in a world where violence is rampant?

"I Buried You Inside Me, It is the story of loneliness entwined with passion and rebellion. This is the story of an outsider in a society that has been colonized by the powerful, has fallen into an identity crisis under the influence of various cultural combinations, and lives in contradictions. (...)

I Buried You Inside Me. In addition to a great love, it is basically the story of Mexican people's search for identity. But it seems to me that it can also be read as the story of every person who leaves time and place aside and hears the call of loneliness. If you have not been conditioned that the author's reputation and the number of book publications are the most important criteria, reading Seni İçime Gömdüm with Tomris Uyar's masterful translation, and especially reading it in the light of Yalnızlık Dolambacı with Bozkurt Güvenç's meticulous translation, will give you very enjoyable moments. For myself, I can easily say that I feel the urge to read I Buried You Inside Me once again. Who knows what else I can discover in this mysterious work."
