Born
in 1979, Eyüp Aygün Tayşir is a ‘narrator’, as he calls it, but also an
academic. “When I was young, I started to tell everyone around me about the
stories, stories, stories that I had listened to, stories that I had created,
as if it were real. I guess I'm very impressed with the women in my family. I
always told stories about the characters like Şehrazade, who listened to
himself, who wanted to keep telling him when he was quiet.”
He
was the first novel to give the reader the thrill of discovery, and his author
was taking us on a journey to the house after a strange and familiar family.
Fathers, sons, mothers and daughters, changing relationships, ever-changing
poverty, and a language that has never been seen as unexpected from the first
novel...
“Think, you are creating a man words, a
steering wheel, a face, words add to the language again words. This guy gets a
character, he's a perpetrator, and then he's a bunch of them... When I begin to
write, my mind and body interrupt its relationship with the environment that it
perceives at normal times and only exists within that established world, and I
write to travel to those worlds the most.”
