“A powerful and poetic new voice in the art of storytelling.” – Selçuk Altun
Artists, writers, lovers, killers: all types of men walk the pages of this book, along the streets of Cardiff, İstanbul, London, Paris, Odesa and Lisbon. All seeking to find a way to belong in the world.
Men Alone is a meditative vision from a unique voice that explores the many – often confounding – permutations of modern masculinity.
Writer and filmmaker Özgür Uyanık lives in Cardiff. He spent his formative years in London after his family emigrated from Türkiye in 1980. He won the Criminally Good Crime Writing Competition at the Essex Book Festival and was a contributing co-editor for an anthology of essays by underrepresented writers. His short stories, essays and book reviews have been widely published in the UK. His novel Conception was published in 2020.
