Waters Without Flow

Pınar Kür is one of our writers who creates her stories with the attention of a master builder. He is a master of fiction who knows that literature is, above all, a problem of structure, and who does not get carried away by the easy poetry of scattered instant impressions. The poetry in Pınar Kür's stories stems from a perfection that can be enjoyed especially after the stories are read and finished. When you read these stories, you will witness not only the loves, pains and lives of certain characters, but also a writerly effort that falls within the realm of good literature. One of the most distinctive features of his stories is that they stand the test of time.

Whenever he talked about the old days and began to tell me about the life in the mansion as if he were telling a fairy tale, he told me more about "Pertev Ağbi" than anything else, more than anyone else, not including any "love" about himself, his unmarriedness - "I couldn't leave the lady" - the hopeless feelings I had developed in my mind. They were elements that reinforced the image of love. But what confirmed my belief, more than anything else, was that Enise Abla's always soft hazel eyes softened even more brightly when looking at Mr. Pertev.
