Other People's Here

Others' Places Book Description

“Big brothers” in the community house A high school student who is making ends meet by his family, a young man who deliberately misleads an old man who asks him for an address and follows him to watch him disappear, a man who searches for Ferdi Tayfur tapes in his neighbor's slum after the apocalypse breaks out, a furniture worker who joins the students he comes across and steals a day of his luck...

In addition to themes such as poverty, childhood, family and youth, current issues of the 90s and 2000s such as the headscarf ban, religion-capital relations, communities, slums and Muslim women's search for identity are heard. in these stories. The political sharpness of the topics covered is softened by fictional games and indifferent sarcasm. The mirror held up to the fragile reality of human relations is bent, the image is blurred, anxiety and laughter are intertwined. Others' Heres brings together the stories in Selçuk Orhan's books Kansızlık (2000) and Taş Kayık (2003).

There was no space for a desk, as a yellow sofa bed took up almost two-thirds of the room. On the wall hung a calendar, a picture of a baby cut from Sızıntı, with its palms dewy with raindrops, and an empty cork board, the smallest of which was the smallest. A hand-sized black pocket radio or tape recorder stood out. Perhaps just because the conversations in that house were mostly university-oriented, Ömer attributed the tape recorder to the presence of another brother studying at the Faculty of Communication. Her Reebook bag, which she always carried with her, was between her legs again. Kamil Ağabey, whose wet elbows he saw from the doorway, stuck his head in and said: “Ömer, İzzet Ağabey will come and talk to you. “Wait ten minutes,” he said.
