As tensions rise, Mrs. Armytage must confront her flaws and learn the meaning of humility. Written by Catherine Gore, a leading voice of the Silver Fork genre, this novel captures the ...

Like Jack Kerouac’s intrepid little sister, Ariel Gore spins the spirited story of a vulnerable drifter who takes refuge in fate and the shadowy recesses of a string of glittering, broken relationships. With just a few pennies and her I Ching, a change of clothes and a one-way ticket to Hong Kong, a perceptive, searching 16-year-old Gore makes her way from the sterile suffocation of the Silicon Valley through the labyrinthine customs of Cold-War China, wanders through bustling, electric Kathmandu, and hunkers down in an icy London squat with a prostitute and a boyfriend on the dole.

Bu bölümde, İstanbul metrobüsünde geçen sıradan bir yolculukta, bir kadının yüksek sesle telefon konuşmasıyla başlayan kaosu anlatıyorum. Herkesin gözleri üzerinde, ancak o hiçbir şeyin farkında değil. Yolcuların rahatsız bakışları, içsel sorgulamalar ve toplumsal çatışmalar... Bu karmaşanın ortasında, bizler de hayata dair sorularımızı ve kendi yalnızlığımızı keşfetmeye çalışıyoruz. Metropolün kaosu, insan ilişkilerinin yüzeyselliği ve biraz da gülümseten absürtlüklerle dolu bir yolculuk.
