Overview
"From villages on the Turkish-Syrian border, to the bustling neighborhoods of Istanbul, Black Sea by the Handful spans the varied locales of Turkey through five stories following such people as an exhausted florist training a neighborhood stray to blow up the president, a smuggler trafficking a girl who claims to be pregnant via parthenogenesis, a swimmer hoping to escape the gravity of Soma mine, a father who loses his three daughters in the wake of the Gezi Park protests, and the daughter of Turkish immigrants spending summers in Istanbul leading to the 1980 coup. The stories are tied thematically in their dealings with issues of (dis)placement, the human need to beat on through hopelessness, and the ways in which we cope with desperation through eccentric acts of defiance and surrender." --Abstract.
