In her new book Emine Özdamar tells numerous very personal stories of her life. It is a collection stories of travelling and arriving, of episodes and thoughts, memories and moments: she takes the train between cities like Berlin, Istanbul, Amsterdam and Düsseldorf, she remembers people, conversations, her childhood, she talks about things that are familiar and others that are strange, about life and death. Finally her speech on the occasion of the Adelbert-von-Chamisso Award talks about how she travelled from the Turkish to the German language.
A well observed reflection written in Emine Özdamar´s very special language full of images.
