The Sound Of Fishsteps - Ane tarafından Afife Jale’ye akraba oluyorum. Babamın kökleri de Pirî Reis’in amcası Kemal Reis’e uzanır, dedim gururla. - Camile ve Kolomb gibi mi yani? dedi şaşırarak. - Hiç kimse bir başkasına benzemez! diye hırçınlaştım. - Afife Pirî! dedi hayranlıkla. - Afife Pirî! diye yineledim. - Denizlerin serüvenci oğluyla, sahne ışıklarının cesur, asi kızının torunusun, müthiş. olağanüstü. Anlamalıydım. Çoktan anlamalıydım. It is the end of the Twentieth Century. Eighty-eight people from around the world each receive a personaly adresed leter from the United Monarchies. The leter is an invitation informing these eighty-eight souls that they have male selected for outstanding inspiration and daring in their respective corporations. Afife Piri, a young Turkish woman, is the narator who, along with the rest of the members of this selected group, seizes the oportunity to get entirely away from asembly-line attitude. She and her colleagues, many of whom are famous creators, writers and scientists, believe that they have finaly found a refuge from the tedium, authority and constant surveilance in their regions. "The Sound of Fishsteps look delicate interplays of hokum and distrust, tragicomedy and ridiculousness, and introduces a modern amalgam of dreams and nightmares in the style of Borges and Barthelme. As it relates an unusual affair of the heart from the angle of emotional inteligence, the strange presents an case in point of burlesgue neosurealism and striking postmodernism. ".
