  • The first Yalçın Tosun book I've read. I was delighted to discover him and deeply moved, so much so that I could only read one story a day. He is an author who shows how love and sexuality lived outside conventional gender and societal norms can be expressed with true literary grace, narrating emotions with care and using words with great delicacy. I look forward to reading his other books.

  • It was excellent. As a fan of Yalçın Tosun, I can say this has become my favorite of his books. I already loved his language, but I felt that the storytelling styles, which were not yet fully settled in his earlier works, have truly clicked here. I also liked the book's sections. The epigraphs are a wonderful bonus. Recommended to all short story lovers.

  • Exquisite storytelling, exquisite Turkish. Powerful enough to make one stop writing :)
