O Sesler - Şehrin Kalbi Surda Atıyor
“Voices… These voices would drive Abdullah crazy. They didn't see anything when the bomb was dropped, but those sounds, aren't they there?
“The voices… They were sounds that were difficult and impossible to describe. You see the sounds of tanks and cannons in the movies... they are not like that, they are very different, very scary sounds. "There was everything in that voice, there was destruction, there was death."
THOSE VOICES tell about a city under bombardment, Diyarbakir. The story focuses on how the bombing of Sur and the conflicts that took place in Sur for a hundred days affected the city, how daily life flows in the city under bombardment, and how different segments of society experience this horror. In poor neighborhoods, schools, hospitals, markets, streets, sheltered sites, inside mosques...
As the author wanders around the city under the sounds of bombs, he enters into a reckoning with the evaluations that come to the fore both in the west of the country and in the region. By turning to the life practices of people from different parts of the city during the conflicts, they attempt to overcome templates, clichés, judgments, humiliations and glorifications.
