Survival Guide

Zehra Çelenk looks at the invisible sides of the human soul with Her Survival Guide. There is intense courage and profound literary insight in this gaze. In these stories, we witness the rather surprising results of looking “from here” at the events that take place before our eyes every day.

It is possible to sense that Çelenk, who appeals to a wide audience with her screenplays and newspaper articles, has a novel humming in the background in each of her stories.

The stories of changing lives and worlds that change again and change even more come together here. It is not a fault to despair from time to time, the texts say there is always hope.

For a new beginning; excitement is not excluded.

“View blindness” she had explained it when we first met. Like the views of the sea, the forest, the city, human landscapes lose their power over time. We become invisible as we look at each other's faces. The consistent tortoise of habit always defeats the impatient hare of love. People are divided into two: Those who mix directly with your blood, and those who flow past you like water. He was the kind who mixes with your blood like poison. A beautiful dream, certain death.
