«Kuşlar da Gitti» is the novel by Yaşar Kemal, published by Edition Orient in paperback (79 pages, in Turkish).
In a polluted Istanbul, children catch birds and offer them before mosques, churches and synagogues with a liberation chant; the birds they don't sell end up eaten. The city and its inhabitants fade together, in a tale about loss, corruption and the broken relationship with nature.
For readers of Turkish literature and historical fiction, interested in a critical look at urban life.
Yaşar Kemal was a leading Turkish writer of Kurdish descent, who wrote in Turkish and a human rights activist. He received 38 awards during his lifetime and had been a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature on the strength of his 1955 novel Memed, My Hawk.
