The Poet's Novel
by Murathan Mungan
The Poet's Novel is set in an imaginary world without high technology, and where its human dwellers maintain a strong connection with nature. Here poets and philosophers are revered deeply, and poems embellish city walls instead of flags; it is a world where words are sacred and dreams magical. We navigate this terrain through three main characters: Bendag, a legendary poet who has been on voluntary exile for fifty years; Moottah, a reclusive philosopher who has not left his home for more than twenty years; and Gamenn, an intelligent detective who has undertaken to investigate the poet murders that have been shaking the Mainland for a while. When each of these characters embark on their own quests, their seemingly divergent paths converge and their stories merge, creating a whole that is both powerful and deeply moving.
