Uyku Sersemi

“Stones, bricks, pieces of concrete, glass, frames unloaded from iron slides. First, the sound of a bomb tearing through the sky.

A rapidly approaching, uneasy hum. And a violent explosion as the load landed in the iron containers. Then the same thing again. Then again. A city under concrete bombardment. People dancing round and round in the destroyed neighborhood. In pairs. Always the same figures. With a depressing seriousness. I closed my eyes. Lying on the dark green couch, listening to the noise of construction, I was waiting for Elif.” A young editor who wanted to prepare a book about the city that was growing and changing like cancer, and that city. Houses, streets, bookstores that were “here” just yesterday and which had all become memories. The hum of construction from below... A hero who loses his perception of reality day by day, unable to recognize his surroundings, his voice and eventually his face...

Hakan Bıçakçı tells about the lost past, cranes, trucks, fake moonlight, insomnia, bad dreams. Pages torn greedily by an invisible hand...

Sleep Stupid, a lost city guide. A diary of destruction.
