Fatma Aydemir: Dschinns

Piece of art. I love everything about it. The protagonists are crisp, the writing style changes whenever focus on an individual changes. The writing is so much on point, it’s difficult to grasp how so much poetry could be weaved into it.

The story in itself is an exceptional recount of (at least in my very own experience eastern) families in a western world, where all they have is a sliver of a dream of making enough money to survive and return to their beloved places one day. (Lest not forget about those who know they’ll never return, for whom the pain of living in an unwelcoming, unsupporting and often purely hostile environment is going to be their life forever.)

I look up to you Fatma Aydemir. You are amazing.
