»There is a smell of acetone in the air: two young women with a secret in search of a missing storyteller, seducer, manipulator. The debut novel (2022) by Kuzey Topuz from Leipzig is a maze full of damaged existences, hero worship, psychological violence and toxic masculinity. Kuzey Topuz has previously published short stories and poems in various literary magazines.«
