Hasan Ali Toptas

Shadowless

Buch

In an Anatolian village forgotten both by God and the government, the muhtar has been elected leader for the sixteenth successive year. When he drunkenly staggers to bed that night, the village is prospering. But when he awakes to discover that Nuri, the barber, has disappeared in the dead of night the community begins to fracture. In a nameless town, far far away, Nuri walks into a barber shop, not knowing how he has arrived. As customers come and go, they too struggle to recall where they came from. Blurring the lines of reality to terrific effect, this novel is both a compelling mystery and an enduring evocation of displacement.
