capital A

"Just as one's whole life passes before one's eyes before death, all the words of my life pass through my mind in a riot of sounds, words, letters and shapes. In a short moment, they flash with a dazzling shine." They are fading. I have never seen so many words together before. So many."

Working on Sevim Burak's unfinished project, she prepared the novel Ford Mach I for publication; He wrote the book "From A to Z Sevim Burak" and the script of the movie I'm Scared Mother (with Reha Erdem), which Feride Çiçekoglu called "a school of screenplay in itself, a unique and unique scenario for our cinema, a masterpiece"; Big A, the only story book of Bresson, Duras, Lacan translator and psychoanalyst Nilüfer Güngörmüs, meets with readers after many years in a revised version with new stories added.

Big A is a unique book in every sense. With its polyphonic fiction and distinctive language, it is one of the extraordinary poetic prose texts of Turkish literature. Güngörmüs's work is not about lights and colors. With words. He takes the moldy words of people's world and examines them one by one. Words that are forgotten, remembered, fill houses, unite, separate, intertwine, and begin to form their own stories, turn into the counterparts of the body, memory, disease, and death.

"To understand that we are witnessing one of those magical unity that can rarely be captured in script writing, In order to feel how Reha Erdem and Nilüfer Güngörmüs create a unique visual symphony by feeding on each other's worlds in I'm Afraid, Mother, maybe you need to read Big A as well, the unhardened veins, the unstoned kidneys, the tiny little ones whose shape has not been distorted in Güngörmüs's story 'Ah Cindy'. The liver, the uterus that hasn't prolapsed, the velvet gallbladder, the bloody spleen, the shiny, fragrant intestines, the lively, juicy, fresh cells, all of them in I'm Afraid Mother, this time asking 'what is a human being?' It comes up with variations of the question: 'Lots of bones. A mouthful of teeth. Lots of veins.'" - Feride Çiçekoğlu -
