Those Whose Faces Were Erased - Coup Diaries

This is an internet novel. We can say that it is the current novel of the communication of our age, of the people of our age. Yes, some of you will find this form and style strange. Aren’t we all in a state of deep alienation and strangeness anyway! People haven’t changed in essence, but their faces and reflections can change a lot according to periods. We are in times when people are changing rapidly in this sense and we can’t keep up with the pace of change.

-Kaan Arslanoğlu-

“Western people say their faces are emptied of soul. The soul has been drained. It’s obvious. The faces are always the same. Can’t you see?” he says to me. I asked what that means. A time when he was obsessed with photographs of people from the Soviet Union era. He focused on faces. He worked on thousands of them. For months. What do they have in common? Expressionlessness. The faces in American porn films, in photographs of models… He was obsessed with them for a while. He studied them in terms of advertising. Then he became crazy. There is a common feature in these faces: Their souls have been drained, another soul has entered them. The same soul. The same soul gives the same expression. Emptiness. The faces in Europe, Western faces, give the same feeling every day...” In this new book, Kaan Arslanoğlu, following the path of his previous novels and works of thought, questions current and prospective current phenomena, and the human condition.
