Moskova Defteri

Bahar Aslan's Moscow Notebook won the 2017 NDS Literary Award.

And then the distraught image of a gallows prisoner whose eyes had been gouged out by ravens appeared and disappeared somewhere in the middle. Did the crows remember the gallows that were erected in this square a long time ago? Or how they built their nests with the hair they plucked from the heads of dead soldiers?

Years after her first book, Derin Uyku (2003), Bahar Aslan meets readers with new stories. Having lived in Baku for many years, where she worked as an architect, Aslan wrote the beautiful stories in Moscow Notebook based on the Turkish settlements she observed in Russia. The harshness of working conditions, the poverty suffered in a foreign country and the country that never leaves you alone... Bahar Aslan conveys the inner worlds of the people she tells in her stories in a very successful and simple Turkish. The drawings of the painter Atilla İlkyaz also make the poetic language of the author visual.
