A Man About to Wake Up

“... a group of boring rookie young men who thought the truth would follow them wherever they went were passing us by. Ragıp abi was dividing the boringness, rookieness and attempts to market the truth of this group in two. Their truth, which was a part of the worldview they stood against with a reactionary attitude but a very worthless part, was falling to pieces in Ragıp abi’s hands. (...) Ragıp abi was telling the story of the sidewalks; the story of the worn-out sidewalks, the unfinished garden walls, the faded houses; he was angry at the new type of people who were trying to renew everything, complete everything, and define everything. Ragıp abi was angry at the people who had lost their truth in the truth.” A Man About to Wake Up is the first book that brings together the stories of Hasan Harmancı. These stories are stories that have been exposed to modernity, that search for values that have been abandoned to oblivion, and that search for people, sometimes with a protesting language and calmness. Stories that ironically announce social degeneration, the intellectual masks that so-called intellectuals hide behind, and the attitudes that turn culture into a market. The story universe of A Man About to Awake is the story of all of us... (From the Promotion Bulletin)
