Requiem für eine verlorene Stadt

»Als würde ich Tabak rollen, forme ich mein Ich zu einer Geschichte, vermische mein Leben mit dem Tabak, mit Wein und mit dem Blau und dem Schwarz der Nacht, und blase den Rauch in die Leere.«

Auf der Suche nach dem echten Leben, seiner Armut, seinem Lärm und seiner Pracht, schweift Aslı Erdoğans literarisches Ich durch die Welt. Die Spur führt in eine ebenso reiche wie verwüstete Seelenlandschaft, in den Kindheitswald und nicht zuletzt in die verwinkelten Gassen der Stadt Istanbul. Die poetische Reise der preisgekrönten türkischen Autorin erscheint nun erstmals auf Deutsch.

Originaltitel: Requiem pour une ville perdue

Aus dem Türkischen von Gerhard Meier

Mit einem Nachwort von Gerrit Wustmann

Penguin Verlag

ΤΟ ΠΕΤΡΙΝΟ ΚΤΙΡΙΟ

 “The Stone Building “ published by Potamos

How do you narrate a nightmare? How do you turn hell into literature? How do you turn pain into a song? In her best book so far, Aslı Erdoğan describes the unspeakable, removing its horror without lightening its existential weight. In this rare poetic text, moving between dream and reality, between shadow and light, one woman struggles with her memories from the time when she was incarcerated in the Stone House. In this prison, where political prisoners and intellectuals who defied censorship live together with young children, street pickpockets, who share the same mental and physical pain, a woman seeks her voice, in the way that a writer seeks her words, finally finding an attendant to her sad song in an angel and an old man who, upon dying, bequeathedher his eyes. The wonderful thing about this book lies not in the description of the horrendous living conditions and the horrors of Turkish prisons which we sense behind the veil of the narrator’s dreamlike memories, but in the unexpected tenderness exuded by a song about human atrocity.
