Tango and Diyarbakir

All of the essay-type texts in the book consist of essays written on social and cultural problems that directly concern Diyarbakır.

Academician and literary critic Serhan Ada says in his foreword to the book; “It is not easy to write in a land where words are the sheikh. Being a writer in Diyarbakır is a difficult art. It is necessary to think and move for months, to barely scratch the surface, and finally to be able to open one's heart to the bullets of words. Şeyhmus, who is perfect for Sultan Şeyhmus, always does this. For himself and his city. He does not transfer what he sees, hears, listens or reads to memory. He kneads and researches - after all, he is a former Mulkiye resident - he goes through Diyarbakır and writes it down. While doing this, he does not neglect to look at Mesopotamia, Anatolia and the world with love. There is poetry in the joint of what Şeyhmus wrote in pieces. "The word of the poem, the bridge that connects the writings, is in his style."

Again, literary writer and critic Semih Gümüş said, “A person who lives through writing shares his experiences and thoughts, sometimes with himself and sometimes with others, and does not forget that writing means daring and facing life. This is a thousand and one adventures that have been experienced by many writers. Among those who write under the shadow of the East, Şeyhmus Diken has a special place. It seems like it's been around since The City That Whispered Its Secrets in Its Walls, is it just me? I did not experience the silence of Diyarbakır, which reached the bottom of nightmares, but I saw Diyarbakır speaking while listening to Şeyhmus Diken .” and brought the subject to Tango and Diyarbakır; “He talks more in his writings now. He said what he would say in unknown times, but now he is waiting for us to read what he wrote, like a young local sage who follows the bells of writing and unearths valuable books one after the other.” says in Radikal Kitap.

Tango and Diyarbakır are the literary texts of A Kurdish view from Diyarbekir. The topicality of the articles written on social and cultural problems that directly concern Diyarbakır does not create a feeling of inadequacy when read later.
