Beautiful parts of the book Semspare
Nostalgia is a strange word, as soon as we express the astringent taste, we feel it in our mouth. It is as if you have put a rock of salt on your tongue that does not melt so easily.

Some loves start this way even though they both know they will not end up in a relationship. Loves that get stuck in the throat like a bone.

I wish we could say this honestly, I love you, but not now. I want to see you, but not now.

How crude and baseless these guarantees are: I will love you forever. We are only responsible for the present and we are aware of it. Any long-term commitment is a form of coercion.

If a path does not make us happy, instead of staying in it and overcoming the soul, we should give it up.

We have to give up unwritten books, unseen movies and projects that we have not upgraded. As well as the jobs that we did not succeed in, as well as the lovers that left us … Sometimes breaking the heart is the best and most beautiful way.

In part of this book we read:
“The writing of the novel is over. I take my head out of my lap. I look at the outside world. The atmosphere is tense before the elections.

Journalists in paper and virtual newspapers and politicians arguing.

The political debates that are going on in the squares … are still messed up everywhere.

In every country, there are intellectual and ideological differences before the elections, but more than that, our world is different.

We treat each other like space creatures. We speak the language of creatures that are very violent and masculine. A voice inside me says, “Run.

“It is difficult to do art and literature in this society.” I would like to return to the world of fantasy. “Honestly, the fantasy world looks more beautiful and real.”

Saber Hosseini as the translator of this work and in its introduction has stated:
Shafak and his spirits can be better known with Shamspareh. In this book, regardless of the characters of his novels, he communicates more clearly and directly with his readers. He spends part of his personal life in front of the reader’s eyes.

The word Shamspareh, which is also the name of the main book published in Turkish, is a remnant of the Ottoman period, and the author uses such expressions in his book to express his interest in such words.

It seems that this part of the sun is the enlightenment of this author on various theoretical issues.
Shamsareh, the hidden layers of a novelist’s life, spread the ideas of a female writer like a piece of sunshine before the reader’s eyes.

The book is also accompanied by designs by the prolific Koltokhans that are conceptually thematically related to Shafak’s works.

In Woman’s Article: The Impossible Riddle; we read:
Just when I want to sit down and write about these issues (feminine traits) and criticize women, I suddenly read a news story or a post.

For example, I see the unpleasant style of some newspaper columnists who write about women. I notice the masculine tone that has permeated the media, I notice the humiliations, the laughs that have become a habit and part of people’s identities.

Sometimes I pay attention to a professor’s tone. Unfortunately, the educated are more authoritarian. In a country where women are persecuted, they are considered second-class citizens, and these stereotypes and stereotypes are repeated many times.

Next come the issue of honor killings, violence against women, beatings by husbands, shelters for the homeless, policy-making based on patriarchal wisdom, blatant killings, inequality and injustice.

Thinking about this, I do not want to criticize women. I feel like I still have to sit down and write about men’s strong thinking.
