Magic Table

Magical Table Book Description: “First the pots get hungry here. Before people get thirsty, jugs burn because of thirst. Pans pour glaze onto plates. Desire flows from ladles to spoons as the bottles kiss the glasses passionately. Baskets are the first to enjoy bread, and forks and knives are the first to enjoy food. Every day is a wedding event. Neither the oven loses its heat nor the fire of the hearth goes out. Since the kitchen revolves around love, the taste of Sofra cannot be satisfied.” This was the Magic Table... Cleopatra who fell into the well of intelligence, Yazid who appeared to be true and waged a jihad against God, Gevher Sultan who wanted to be healed, Ebussuud Efendi who bowed to the worldly power, Dracula who oppressed himself, Mrs. Mao who would carry the mistakes of her youth for a lifetime, and herself while searching for the truth. Tolstoy, the glorifier, Camille Claudel, the victim of her talent, and Amy Winehouse, who was burdened with weights she could not bear, had all come from Beyond to this place, as magical as its name. Don Quixote was there with his conscience, and so was Yunus with his alchemy that dissolved his notion of divinity... A fantastic novel by Nuriye Akman that swims in conversation like the fish, algae, corals and pearls of a sea... Magical Sofra... (From the Promotional Bulletin)
