Wave Six Forty-Four

What does a writer do when their hero knocks on the door? Behiç Ak has added a new one to his children's novels, in which he reflects children's rich inner worlds, their questioning of life and their inquisitive states, and is decorated with masterful illustrations. He blended an author's intellectual world, imagination and relationship with his environment in an extraordinary fiction. From his room to his neighborhood, from the city to the village, from the village to the forest life, the “author's journey” is accompanied by unique characters and unique stories. “Children also have an intellectual world,” says the master writer, this time presenting a creative writing adventure that makes you feel the meaning of life. Behiç Ak, Turkey's 2021 ALMA (Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award) nominee, wanders around the borders of her imagination in her new novel. How does a writer create his characters, how does he fictionalize the events? Our writer, who cannot focus on writing, finds himself in his story when the protagonist knocks on the door while questioning them. The interesting people he knows live in his story as extraordinary characters: Mathematician Mecnun Bey, Doğan looking for his imaginary dog, Nigar Hanım with her traveling library, Şehrazat who misses her mother, the rooster Muzaffer Bey, that wave at six forty-four and many more. Hearing the sound of a rooster, our writer will be surprised by the flow of events as well as the heroes... (From the Promotional Bulletin).
