We were the flowers of this mountain

"There really is such a thing as not being able to be good to anyone. (…) Different reactions in one place, different in another place. This must be what they call neither Jesus nor Moses. Two peoples and two completely disconnected people. Dil. Come on, let's see where you will be welcomed? Did you do something good or something bad? Why did you do this? Where does Kurdish cinema fall, my brothers and sisters? "

Evrim Alataş, the end In his article, he said these about the discussions about the movie Min Dît, the story of which he was one of the writers. What he complains about is actually the strongest aspect of his writing. Looking from the inside, from the other side and upside down... Speaking from the inside, knowing the burning heart and the overflowing heart. Instead of making judgments from somewhere above, speaking by identifying with the other, understanding and trying to understand. He speaks without being easy, by questioning the generally accepted assumptions, and by looking at things from a different perspective.

In this book, Alatas's essays published in various magazines and newspapers were brought together. (Self-)criticisms on "Kurds, leftists, feminists"... "What the days have brought", long-term discussions about current politics... "The situation of our village": Scenes from the times of an Alevi Kurdish village... Eulogies and worries about Diyarbakır …Poisonous articles on "White Turks"… And two interviews about his writing…

The pain of losing him early is felt even more in the angry joy of Evrim Alataş's writings…
