Başka Hayatlar

Dreaming of other lives is an existential curiosity. It protects people from loneliness and warms their hearts a little. When we read a novel or story, we feel pleasure for it, we feel like our life has been written, we want to believe that our life has a meaning and integrity, just like the lives dreamed of there. Only that sense of aesthetic integrity can make us feel the goodness of life. Literature gives us the strength to say "yes" to life despite all the pain, and teaches us to live.

In her book Other Lives, which was deemed worthy of the 2004 Memet Fuat Essay Award, Nilüfer Kuyas explains how, first, reading books of any kind, and then the world of literature, adorned with endless colors, enriches one's life culture. Literary writers dream of "other lives" open to endless possibilities, and the reader finds his own mirror in those dreams. As Kuyas bravely enters all the paths of the literary labyrinth, he drags his readers along with him.
