Song of Waiting

It is now the song of injured trees, dirty clouds, cats whose eyes were removed, bones that could not return home, seasons that changed places, nameless streets, loves that did not happen, people surrounded by endless loneliness, lives that turned into a desert and the waiting of a dispersed time. A labyrinth where the search gradually turns into losing the way home, following the footsteps of wolves, jackals and hunting dogs, and going back and forth. The Song of Waiting is a subtle narrative of how a person draws life into his own vortex. Mehtap Ceyran, who courageously draws the picture of the geography where pain creates its own language with her first novel, Mevsim Yas, once again lifts the scab of a wound. This is a novel of search, waiting, irreparable absence and endless compassion.

“Everything was filtered through a filter that gave nothingness to its age. Images appeared and disappeared in my eyes. I saw mute mouths, wordless tongues. Fatigue above all else. Nothing could relieve the loneliness of being in this world... Our unshakable waiting was full of traces of time that disappeared. Our song continued.”
