Men Alone

'Poised between melancholy and yearning, this wry, moving, and beautifully crafted collection of stories is a rich and multilayered meditation on aloneness in all its complex shades and metamorphoses.' - Tristan Hughes'A powerful and poetic new voice in the art of storytelling.' Selcuk AltunFrom Ozgur Uyanik, novelist and film director, comes a debut collection of audacious, darkly wry and compassionate short stories. Driven by universal themes of desire, mortality, loss and yearning, each story evokes both the melancholy and the hope inherent in all stages of life, from childhood through to maturity. Artists, writers, lovers, killers: all types of men walk these pages, along the streets of Cardiff, Istanbul, London, Paris, Odesa and Lisbon. All seeking to find a way to belong in the world. Men Alone is a meditative vision from a unique voice that explores the many often confounding permutations of modern masculinity.
