Description
Seven days in Istanbul: An ugly love, a beautiful revolution and a delayed suicide…
All the youth of Istanbul came back to the streets with great eagerness for changing the world. The gray walls of Turkey are eroded by the revolution wind. And a young man by name Tunch prepares to kill himself in a suburb of Istanbul.
As the children of this city are falling on earth from the high trees, Tunch, the main character of this novel, goes back to the suburb where he grew up, and comes to the abandoned flat of his uncle who committed to suicide in his young age. He goes out the balcony with the thoughts in his mind that only he can understand. Just as his uncle Demir did, he whips a long rope around his neck, goes close to the balcony barriers, looks into the depth of a coal black mouth, that waits for him on the street.
The ones who are going to read this novel, will hear the screams of the young bodies who got tired carrying the heavy wooden of the revolution on their little shoulders; and the ones are going to see the people who could not remove the seeds of death that are sprinkled in their minds in even the most beautiful days of Istanbul; and the readers are going to listen to the flutters of some people who know they must die, but can die in no way.
Tunch is going to learn how to love someone. He is going to fall in love with a young woman, named Nar, in the middle of the revolution. Nar is a girl who knows she must be dead just like him. This young woman is going to see the hole of death in Tunch’s eyes, and will invite him to the Suicide School.
As Tunch will attend the lessons with Nar together, the state will be on another kind of job. The state, as usual, will seek ways to restrain the youth’s freedom desires.
But, which state? The state, that has its origins in the Seljuq Empire, now is broken into pieces in itself once again. The state, that has revealed itself as a double-head eagle since the nomad Turkish people revolted against the Seljuq Empire in 1240’s, has already lost its bearings. The state has no ruler, but has lots of suitors. In this chaos, will the public get beat up once again?
What about the young people? Will they get what they want after all? What is Tunch going to do in this freedom fight? Will he die or kill? Or else, is he going to bang the secret nail of Istanbul, that is resigned him?
