      • Fall Scented Sins

        by Hakan Yaman

        Fall Scented Sins is the story of a love and betrayal in the Levantine society of Izmir in the 19th century. The relation between Alfredo Vitelli who is a member of İzmir’s rich and well-known Levantine families and his wife Isabella Vitelli is narrated on two different platforms in the novel. While a 19th century narrator is telling the story of the journey which organized by the Vitelli family with their friends to the Seven Churches of the Book of Revelation in the New Testament, Isabella’s diary accompanies it.Narrator’s story and Isabella’s diary flow parallel in the beginning. As novel progresses, these two stories intertwine and conflict.

      • The Red Motorcycle

        by Fatma Akerson

        The Red Motorcycle is made up of three narratives “The Red Motorcycle,” “The Tiny Footprints of a Girl on Sand” and “Belakane.”The first story, “The Red Motorcycle” consists of ten letters written by the narrator in retrospective. They are addressed to an Italian friend who, although a foreigner, is familiar with the Mediterranean.The second story, “The Tiny Footsteps of a Girl on Sand” tells of an aged man, who has fallen desperately in love with a very young woman. Following the footprints of Gilgamesh, the Sumerian king (ca 2000 BC) he attempts to reach Utnapishtim, in order to learn the secret of immortality. Anxiously the young woman, now a writer, sets forth to find him.The third story, “Belakane”” begins with a summary of an episode from Eschenbach’s (13th c.) Parcifal. Eschenbach gives an account of how Parcifal’s father, Gachmuret, who was a rich knight in the service of the Chalif, falls in love with the pagan queen Belakane, but then leaves her just before the birth of their child (Feirefiz). Almost seven hundred years later, we find another Belakane in the vicinity of Beirut.All three stories have a rather “cool” style. The writing never turns pathetic, idioms of alienation are employed and a certain irony is always present. No scene ends without a note of hope.
