Büyüyemeyenler by Melis Danişmend

This is a book about "failure to grow." In "Those Who Cannot Grow Up," Melis Danişmend takes us to a familiar story. It's for those who see their luck in love going downhill, those who realize it's time to reconcile with their families after conflicts, those who reconsider their "career choices"—in short, those who dare to confront their inner world, but do so with laughter, self-mockery, and cleverly subtly mocking those around them. The story of Melis Danişmend, who, after her divorce, had to close her home and return to her family as an adult, and who struggled through the ups and downs of the music and press industries instead of the corporate world, will perhaps resonate more with many of us than ever before in the aftermath of the pandemic. But "Those Who Cannot Grow Up" is more than that... It's the story of losers, of those who are repeatedly trapped in the choice/fate of losing, of those who feel unlucky, of those whose heads are always full, of those who are always asking questions, of those who follow a voice but continue walking even though they don't know exactly where it's coming from or what's being said... But most of all, it's the story of those who can never grow up, who don't want to. Because sometimes losing is normal. Losing is very ordinary. In fact, losing is beautiful. If so, hello. You too are one of those who cannot grow up...”
