Fallen Almond Tree

If Mehmet Dinç decided to publish a story book years after he started writing stories, it is because he took the writing and the story seriously. Perhaps, in the harsh reality of the geography he lived in, he waited to find the exact amount of water he would give to the nature and structure of the bridge he would build between writing and lived life. We see that he finally found it. Mehmet Dinç has now established his own understanding, created a narrative language that continues in all stories, and brought integrity to the story. It is necessary to read his writings by looking at the characteristics of the story world and how he chooses and uses the details of the life he tells. There are people in that reality. Real people living in a cruel life, sometimes directly involved in it, sometimes living on the edge. These are not easy stories to write. I'm glad Mehmet Dinç wrote it. The Overthrown Almond Tree is a book of stories that should not be ignored, showing how to write while living in the shadow of violence.
