'Just as she was being lowered into the earth - following the late afternoon
call to prayer - my aunt sprang briskly back to life'
In this fictional memoir of Hayri Irdal - troublesome boy, workshy man and
feckless husband - life is examined in all its double-crossing, chaotic,
disastrous glory. From his youth, dismantling timepieces while his family fell
apart, to his later years at the scandal-hit Time Regulation Institute, Hayri's
absurdist misadventures play out as a brilliant allegory of the collision
between East and West, tradition and modernity.
