Gözün Kahverengi Suyu

Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)

“At least I'm not afraid of disappearing as much as existing.”
A huge eye that looks, sees, understands and gives meaning; An inner voice that asks, questions, goes astray, goes astray, always returns even if it loses its way, smiles silently but never remains silent; or just a sigh, a breath, a lifetime... Memet Baydur looks both in front of and behind the "curtain" in his stories; it goes around the sharp corners of the human thing; While blending the nature of things with the nature of people, he wanders on the uncertain border of the tragic and the comic.
All His Stories, including The Brown Water of the Eye, which was first published in 1995, includes Memet Baydur's stories / texts that remained in magazines or were not published anywhere, some of which were unfinished. He presents it to the reader.

He is obsessed with the stupid question, "Is living grammar?", and has difficulty in establishing a relationship. Relationships are not important here, they already exist. He does not dare to use the question "Which bird eats its own eggs?" at the end of a book, and he becomes someone who rejoices in his cowardice and is applauded for his joy. Watch now, so that, like a long and boring repetition, in big cities, a man who spread his bitter peanuts in the sun stands as the old man, and we, the unfinished remnants of his entire past, stand before him as monuments of virtue. He says this to himself out loud, unlovingly but undoubtedly at the same time. What is important here is not the aspirations, they do not exist anyway.
