Krátky popis
LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2019 'One of the best writers in
the world today' Hanif Kureishi 'Haunting, moving, beautifully
written - and based by an extraordinary cast of characters who
capture the diversity of modern Turkey. A masterpiece' Peter
Frankopan 'In the first minute following her death, Tequila Leila's
consciousness began to ebb, slowly and steadily, like a tide
receding from the shore. Her brain cells, having run out of blood,
were now completely deprived of oxygen.But they did not shut down.
Not right away...'For Leila, each minute after her death brings a
sensuous memory: the taste of spiced goat stew, sacrificed by her
father to celebrate the long-awaited birth of a son, the sight of
bubbling vats of lemon and sugar which the women use to wax their
legs while the men attend mosque, the scent of cardamom coffee that
Leila shares with a handsome student in the brothel where she
works. Each memory, too, recalls the friends she made at each key
moment in her life - friends who are now desperately trying to find
her.. . 'Simply magnificent, a truly captivating work of immense
power and beauty, on the essence of life and its end.' Philippe
Sands'One of the most important writers at work today' Independent
'A vivid carnival of life and death, cruelty and kindness, love,
politics and deep humanity.This is only possible in the hands of a
consummate storyteller. Elif Shafak's lyrical command of language
and narrative is breathtaking. Brilliant!' Helena Kennedy'Elif
Shafak brings into the written realm what so many others want to
leave outside.Spend more than ten minutes and 38 seconds in this
world of the estranged. Shafak makes a new home for us in words'
Colum McCann 'Elif Shafak's extraordinary 10 Minutes, 38 Seconds in
this Strange World is a work of brutal beauty and consummate
tenderness' Simon Schama 'A rich, sensual novel... This is a novel
that gives voice to the invisible, the untouchable, the abused and
the damaged, weaving their painful songs into a thing of beauty.'
