Productdetails
- Everyone was suffering, had suffered, or would suffer. It was in the nature of life.What is it like to die? George Saunders, considered one of the best living storytellers, is looking for the answer to this crucial question in his long-awaited first novel. However, the answer to this question is unknown; This is a mysterious answer that no one knows, and even if they knew, they did not know how to convey it to people. The person left in limbo is Willie Lincoln, the son of former president Abraham Lincoln, the hero of the American Civil War, and dozens of other ghosts accompanying him. Everyone is looking to go back, and Lincoln is looking to continue and find peace. But there are important things they don't know: Some blows can be too heavy for fragile people; Blows can end a person or take him to the top. George Saunders, who was compared to writers such as George Orwell and Kurt Vonnegut with his game-changing pen, constructed the concepts of death, loss and mourning in a theatrical atmosphere and with an experimental narrative style, based on the loss of Lincoln's seven-year-old son, while approaching the concepts of death, loss and mourning from a perspective that the reader is not accustomed to. It does not fail to explain the background of the United States of the period. In Arafta, where he breaks the classical novel patterns, the Folio Award-winning author also makes various references to Michelangelo's famous Pieta, one of the sculptural masterpieces of art history. Arafta, which was published in Turkey at the same time as America, opens a brand new and experimental path in front of the reader with its mind-pushing fiction, unusual form and style that can turn even pain into an element of humor.How do we continue to love and live if everything we love has to end? No one writes as effectively about pain, loss, misfortune, and deprivation as George Saunders. Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times Show more

George Saunders Editorial Review
**** "Arafta" is a captivating debut novel that has garnered attention for its unique narrative style and historical context, winning accolades such as the Booker Prize. The book primarily unfolds through the dialogues of souls trapped in limbo, offering profound introspection into themes of death, mourning, and regret, while intertwining the real-life experiences of Abraham Lincoln during a tumultuous time in American history. Several readers have found the writing style experimental and engaging, leading to a swift reading experience; many reported finishing the book in a single day. The historical elements, including quotes from newspapers and writings from the Lincoln era, enhance the authenticity and provide a compelling backdrop for the characters' emotional journeys. However, those unfamiliar or uncomfortable with unconventional storytelling may find it challenging to connect with the narrative, as evidenced by some readers' struggles, including one individual's mother who abandoned the book after struggling to grasp its premise. The story not only focuses on Lincoln's struggles with the abolition of slavery but also explores the heart-wrenching narrative of losing a child, invoking empathy without resorting to sentimentality. The book has been described as reminiscent of classic Greek tragedies, where the "dead chorus" adds a layer of complexity to the reading experience. Overall, “Arafta” presents a rich blend of emotional depth and historical intrigue, making it a worthwhile read for those who enjoy experimental literature and are ready to confront profound themes with a touch of humor. **
