Praying for Chaos

Jinn demolish a state and a woman laughs a lot!

This novel is a chaos manual.

This book is about a curse that snarls everything and causes new chaotic-orders. This curse spreads from Istanbul, Turkey towards Balkans, and starts to derange the order of the whole world. The expected big earthquake of Istanbul occurs and the people revolt against all states and all powers, and change everything.

In this book, there are jinn and demons who are in cooperation with intelligence officers of states; and the Chapullers who decided to reconstitute Earth. There are Bosniaks in the book who draw a parallel between the heaven and earthquakes, and Serbs who are unapologetic for anything, Armenians who try to understand everything carefully, Macedonians who pork out their meatballs, Bulgarians who dress their kukeries, Nietzsche there is who created his philosophy of Perspectivism, Bergson who tries to reach the truth by using his methods of intuition, and Spinoza who deals with the sun’s size.

All aside, in the book there is an eagle who took an oath to tell you everything what he sees, and a snake as a symbol of freedom, and ancient Greek Muses who badger someone to death…

Before the big earthquake a young woman named Elma, who lives in Istanbul, seeks after a picture for an unknown reason. This picture is a face of a man who was an Armenian and Paulician at one time. This man was a follower of an old Armenian-Christian sect, named Paulicians, who had come out about 6th century and lived with their own anarchism in Anatolia.

This Armenian man is the best friend of Bogomil, who was a priest and took the Balkans by storm once upon a time and tried to found the heaven in the world. Bogomil wrote a book of the universe and drew this Armenian-Paulician man’s awesome face at the last page of his book.

Why does Elma, who is the main character of this novel, seek this picture? What for does a Gypsy, who is fall in love with Elma like a mad, make a deal with jinn? Is this picture buried under the Galata Tower in Istanbul? What will happen when she finds this picture? Will Chaos laugh? What is the Laugh of Chaos? Is it a project of destruction? Will all states be demolished by humanity after the earthquake?

If you are the one who lets Chaos demolishes your all orders and creates much more complicated new orders for you, then this is the book just for you.
