I don’t know if I just didn’t get it, or if it was actually just really bad? Idk? There were brief moments that were so emotional and beautifully written and the rest felt like telling not showing…

What I believed was a 4 star read until the very end, which felt like it had a huge build up towards only for it to fall very flat. Was a very big fan of the writing style so I do imagine I'll be checking out more of his works soon.

Karanlık, depresif, gri bir külden ibaret terkedilmiş bir Dünya. Neden ve nereye gittiklerini tam olarak bilmediğimiz, yalnız bir Baba ve Oğul. Bu klostrofobik girdaptan nasıl kurtulacaklar diye, onlardan daha önce gidecekleri yerleri görmek için sabırsızca sayfaları çeviren bir Okur.

Ve tabii ki, muazzam bir Sevin Okyay çevirisi.

Bir ara, kitaptaki hissiyatın, Anna Kavan'ın Buz'una çok yakın olduğunu düşündüm. Ama sonra başka başka Yol'lara saptıklarını gördüm. :)
