LONGLISTED FOR THE FT/OPPENHEIMERFUNDS EMERGING VOICES AWARD 2016
'Toptas seems to me Orhan Pamuk's equal ... He strikes me as just
as gifted a writer' Sydney Morning Herald Thirty years after
completing his military service Ziya flees the spiralling turmoil
of one of Turkey’s great sprawling cities to seek a serene
existence in a dream-like village. Kenan – an old friend from the
army – is there to greet him. However, the village does not
provide the total isolation Ziya years for and he is forced back
through the tangled web of his memory in search of his lost family
and the reason why Kenan feels so extravagantly indebted to him.
Reckless masterfully blurs the boundaries between memory and
reality to create a gripping tale that introduces a major writer to
English-language readers.
