What truths emerge in the fragile space between sleep and wakefulness?

"It is still night. The silence of celestial bodies will kill me." Through a mesmerizing stream of consciousness, Sadık Yalsızuçanlar guides readers into the "yakaza"—the waking state, a twilight realm where the boundaries between dream and reality dissolve.

This narrative is a journey of self-reckoning, following a character who wanders into the dead ends of his own soul. Balancing ambiguity with profound insight, the novel invites the reader to experience the oscillation between senses and consciousness. For those willing to risk getting knotted while trying to untie the knots of existence, The Waking State offers a promise of metaphysical enlightenment.
