Really, What's Going On?

The man, whose mind is at a loss to make sense of the strange events unfolding, asks the person who might be a “savior,” “Really, what’s going on?” (Roadside, 2017) In this world where meaning has evaporated, where everything is immanent in everything else, where nothing is anything, and where a contagious absurdity gallops full tilt—in these restless, strange times when we’re caught in the turmoil of a past that won’t let us go and a future that won’t come to us—Tayfun Pirselimoğlu asks the same question again: Really, what’s going on?
