Is it possible to remember another without fully forgetting oneself?

In The Prepared Life of C, Sadık Yalsızuçanlar takes the reader to the "end of the cities," to the Taşucu Lighthouse, where the land ends and the vast unknown begins. It is here, amidst the wind and the swelling sea, that the protagonist cries out for the ocean to sever the ties to the earth and logic, yearning to be swept away from the world.

Focusing on lives lived both at the throbbing center of the city and on the very edges of existence, Yalsızuçanlar explores the mysterious corners of human experience. With his signature poetic narrative, he presents a collection of lives and moments that challenge the boundaries of memory, identity, and the prepared paths we are expected to walk.
