Betty Blue

Let's state it right away: The novel in your hand tells about a "predatory" love. "Love" is not a book for those who want to live with the expectations of happiness and marriage; Not at all!.. Those who are in favor of a quiet life, those who are afraid of their pink dreams being destroyed, should not read it...
Described by critics as a myth and a sincerely and bravely written novel, Betty Blue is the story of a woman working in bars and a plumber. It tells the struggle of ordinary people, that is, anti-heroes, to live their love and change their destiny. The woman is someone who cannot hold back her anger against the falsehoods and vileness of the contemporary world. He is naked and unprotected against life; has no account. The man belongs to a generation that is experienced in loneliness and the meaninglessness of objects, and who is devastated because he cannot realize his rebellion. He goes to a deserted corner of the world to establish a miniature life. He writes a book and forgets. He settles for drinking beer and watching the sun set in the evenings. One day, a woman comes with her anger, femininity and authenticity. They embark on a journey together into the details of hell, where the man's anger is increasingly ignited... They do not hesitate to fight with those who do not care about their differences and those who want to keep their heads down. They will not surrender to the world that is gradually turning into a shithole. They get injured. They wound.

At one point in the novel, the man says: "To set certain goals in life is to chain oneself." It is necessary to understand that "Happiness does not exist, Heaven does not exist, there is nothing to gain or lose, and the essence of anything cannot be changed." To believe that "and from now on, only despair remains for man" is to make a mistake once again. "Because despair is also an illusion."

The novel of those who do not agree with their fate, those who do not want to control their anger, those with a fire burning in their hearts... One of the most "predatory" examples of underground literature...

" The perfect translation of the book's translator Aysen Ekmekçi, who 'reads' Philippe Djian's world well, really adds a different flavor to the book. I have only one word to say to Ayrınti Yayınları: Well done! As for those who have watched the movie Bettty Blue... This book and the movie. "There is not only a difference in life but also in the world and the soul."
