Family Wars

My wife was screaming. He was shouting at the top of his voice from the sofa he was sitting on. Maybe it was the first time he was screaming in my face. Where had that calm, docile woman gone? Have the borders we protect against each other become mixed up? What was the border like? Was the individual creating his own boundaries?

Everest Publications continues to publish the books of Bekir Yildiz, one of the master writers of Turkish literature, with Aile Savaşları. Family Wars can be read as a sequel to Bekir Yildiz's book Halkalı Slave. The novel tells the story of a middle-aged, tired man who cannot get rid of the burdens of the past, and his young wife, who wants to have a child, and their ups and downs within the "family" institution. In Bekir Yildiz's witty language, all the pains of being a "family" are told with a striking fiction.
