05.45 Istanbul

05.45 Istanbul - Gokce Bilgin

"I am a murderer, he is a prisoner. We have similar and different aspects. We are both trapped in time, blindly diving into the options that time presents us. Despite the plan, the information, the torture, the options are uncertain. Will we comply with time and live the life it has envisioned for us, or will we enter the new life from a completely different place?"

Gökçe Bilgin tells the story of a serial killer in her novel 05.45 Istanbul. But our hero does not act like a typical serial killer. He creates a robot from the various limbs of the people he kills. Sometimes he tells her about the streets of Istanbul, sometimes about his days in prison, and sometimes about his feelings about life, to himself, and even to the void. As if to prove that silence does not suit those living in noisy cities.

05.45 Istanbul takes you on the borders of science fiction and fantasy, while also providing details about living in a big city, specifically in Istanbul, and being "yourself" while living there.
