Manves City

… our poppy field won't be here until next spring either, Manves has taken it over, they've already started to convert it from the upper slope, they're going to build a telephone factory, Erice has plenty of poor and abandoned people, but they don't have trouble finding workers anyway.

Manves City reveals the events in Erice, a town in Turkey that has been surrendered to large corporations. Ersel, who gets out of prison years later and returns to his hometown, encounters an Erice that has been taken over by giant production facilities and factories. Ersel, whose home has been broken up, goes after his stepdaughter who has gone missing. His childhood friend Nergis, who is the voice of the people with her articles in a local newspaper, will accompany him on this touching journey.

Manves City, published simultaneously with Sürüklenme, is a novel of impoverished people, destroyed nature, massacred women, polluted streams, cruel holdings, and today's Turkey. In Manves City, which reaches out to each other with Drift, Latife Tekin writes with a brand new, clear language about the unemployed, the poor, trees, children; those who resist this great destruction.
