An Extraordinary Award Ceremony

The latest story book of Mustafa Kutlu, one of the most respected names in today's literature, was published under the name of An Extraordinary Prize and a Ceremony. The book vividly reflects Mustafa Kutlu's ironic style.

The Turkish Cephalopod Association, located in a coastal town, will hold a festival and organize an award ceremony to make the name of their town known. At the ceremony, awards will be given in many fields, from cinema to literature, from theater to archaeology. Mr. Aziz, who never married, rose to the rank of undersecretary in the ministry. In the period leading up to the award ceremony, while talking about the desire to benefit from the tourism potential, the rush of the Istanbul fashion industry to market authentic products to the world, the ambition to become a brand, the "magic word" media, bureaucracy, the meaning of being in the spotlight and peak shopping, on the other hand, there is a voice speaking to the world from a quiet town. It tells the story of Nezaket, a hard-working, enterprising city-builder who quietly returns to himself.

Mustafa Kutlu, who tells the relationship between people and geography transformed by modern times, this time around an award ceremony, explains the existence of a world that does not abandon people even if they are a hundred years old, and its heroes one by one. He tells it in an ironic way, as they were when he brought them to the stage to receive their awards.

An Extraordinary Award Ceremony invites us to re-read man's connection with the world through the self and the soul...
