	/>didn�t win the �International Emmy Award� but don�t be upset
	about it. Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy are very prestigious awards.
	Therefore, even being among nominees is a big milestone in one�s
	career. Engin had already deserved our applause by being a
	nominee. Emmy is a TV award. I don�t watch TV and therefore I
	don�t know his series. I ha...ven�t even watched it for a
	minute. But, I know Engin from the movies. I watched him and
	loved him a lot. And on February 22, 2014, I wrote the following
	on my column.***I admit that I went to �bi k��k Eyl�l
	meselesi\" just for Farah Zeynep Abdullah. Although there were
	so many movies I wanted to watch and I had a very limited time
	for movies since Istanbul has turned into a wonderful Culture
	and Art Center, I chose �Farah� without even seeing movie list.
	I am a big fan of her since I watched her in �Kelebegin Ruyasi �
	Butterfly�s Dream� and I wished that she had a bigger part in
	the movie. This meant that I would be looking forward to her new
	movie. And it was exactly like that.Eylul came out and I went to
	�Kanyon� to watch it at the first chance I had. And it was worth
	it. First of all, Farah�s acting was superb as I expected. But,
	Engin Akyurek whom I�ve never expected, I�ve never heard his
	name, and I watched for the first time, was unbelievable for
	playing his very difficult character requiring a lot of talent.
	Turkish cinema has been bestowed with an amazing star by this
	movie. And from now on, I will look forward to Mr. Akyurek\'s
	second movie.Believe me; I never wanted the scenes with Farah
	Zeynep and Engin Aky�rek to end. I was greatly enchanted by
	their acting***Actors earn a lot of money from making TV series.
	Engin neglects movies. If he didn�t, I am sure he would be an
	Oscar nominee.

	Snowman


	Universal Fans Club]

	improvements on the translation later on).�If he laughs well,
	he\'s a good man� � F. Dostoyevski

	question of �Who is a good man?� Which one is more effective;
	little bit of smiling of good people or spluttered guffaw
	effects of bad people? Even though a response to each question
	remains as an answer, one doesn�t usually question a beautiful
	laughter.�

	middle of the table. His eyes, looking at me head to toe, were
	like the astute gaze of an old woman. Although he was eight
	years old, he looked like a youngster.

	disdainful attitude coming from me just turning 9. He had told
	me his New Year plan bit by bit as if he had breadcrumbs in his
	mouth and was carefully getting them out by trying to be
	cautious not to drop them all over the place.

	�Welcome 1990� on the window. We would cosmetically bury the 80s
	into the darkness of the history with the help of a glue and
	some cotton that he would steal from his mother�s drawer. Hakan
	had planned everything. The window of our living room would be
	used on New Year�s eve. Our families would gather in our house.
	We would have tangerines, kisir (bulgur salad - tabouli), play
	bingo and then go to bed. We wouldn�t forget about the snowing
	effect and use the carefully formed small cotton balls for that.
	Even though the reality of the snow outside slapped us in the
	face, we would prefer to be decorative. Japanese glue (1) would
	enter our lives later on but Japan would always remind us Baris
	Manco (2).

	things that it was as if he forgot that he was eight years old
	and waiting for someone to remind him this. The snow outside not
	only made fun of the cottons that we glued on the window but
	also told something to the 80s as well. Maybe we would miss the
	modest and humble 80s but we had such a strong expectations on
	90s that we couldn�t even imagine how 2000s would belittle 90s
	later on.

	me his second plan: �Let�s make a snowman.� When the clock
	struck the midnight, we would take our families to the backyard
	and show them our snowman. It was a nice plan and would add high
	resolution to 80s� single channel life (3).�

	meaning of those days both colored our loneliness and caused us
	collect as many memories as possible. I had kyped a carrot from
	the refrigerator as Hakan stole cotton from his mother�s drawer.
	Because of aesthetical concerns, I had stopped by coal cellar
	and grabbed a handful carefully selected coal pieces.

	backyard, we had first built a big body with the snow that we
	shoveled. Hakan had kneeled and, acting as if he was tired,
	showed once again what a reckless child he was. I had done the
	second piece and the most elaborated places between its neck and
	belly with my cold hands. It was getting dark. My cold hands,
	getting faster, had humanized the face of the snowman with
	surgical accuracy; a snow-white and smooth skin, two eyes from
	small coal pieces, and a smiling face with smaller coal
	pieces�The snowman�s smile was so beautiful that the darkness of
	coal pieces had warmed my heart. Making the carrot his nose and
	attaching a broom to its body, I had finished my snowman and it
	had a sparkling smile.

	liked in my 8 years long life. My pastel paintings and potato
	prints were like monstrosities from the Paleolithic period
	compare to it. One�s instinct of creating something and
	admiration to that thing one created could be accomplished with
	just a carrot and Zonguldak coal (4).

	channel life which calmed us and, time to time, made us fall
	asleep would create great excitement as the countdown started.
	Streets were sparkling as if they were 8 years old and waiting
	for this day. Obviously, we hadn�t liked 80s.

	using all the delicacies of Turkish language, announced the
	winning lottery ticket number on TV, the silence of the smallest
	prize had won in our home again. Meals that our mothers
	prepared, orange smells, and us who advanced to �Bingo� from
	�Sorry� trying not to sleep were taking revenge from the 80s.
	10, 9, 8, 7, 6. � The start of a new year, our hugs with new
	hopes, and our fantastic belief for the future showed that we
	could stay human regardless.

	hours of our sleep, we had taken our folks to the backyard.
	Siblings, grandmothers, aunt-in-laws had come to the backyard
	with us. We had some drunken or smoking audience who were
	watching us from their balconies. The backyard had turned into a
	fairground. Hakan�s father had said �So?� with a fatherly voice.
	And I said �here�, pointing out the snowman with my hands. The
	whole neighborhood turned their head as I turned my head and
	looked at my snowman. After a little silence, when I approached
	my snowman, I saw that his carrot nose had tuned into a sexual
	organ and his smiling face had become wicked adjectives of
	unfilial children. My snowman was ridiculed by everybody
	including drunken Uncle Selim in his balcony because of the
	lower neighborhood�s hateful eyed children had made fun of it.
	The crowd�s muttering laughter and the sounds made by old ladies
	had showed that we could still be embarrassed by a carrot. Tears
	had been welled up in my eyes and I had hardly contained myself
	from crying. I hadn�t liked the 90s at all. I had immediately
	wanted to go to bed, pull the cover over me and forget this
	night. What happened to my snowman had upset me more than people
	who laughed at me.

	everybody could smile like that. It was as if something was
	blown into my ear, into my 8 years old soul. I had collected all
	of the smiles years ago by myself. I would collect tens of
	similes from the faces and gazes I loved, like a breath that I
	would take as long as I lived. I would find those smiles
	sometimes buried in a lover�s dimple, or on a friend�s hand
	extended to me, or most importantly, while laughing on the
	inside like looking at yourself in the mirror.

	wake up, I would make better faces to my snowman. I had woken up
	to my mother�s voice in the morning. It was almost afternoon. I
	was going to run to the backyard, but I had been petrified when
	I saw the rain drops on the window. It had rained and melted the
	snow away. The beads (tears) that I had been trying to hold in
	my eyes since the last night had started falling like evil-eye
	beads. I ran to the backyard and saw the smiling coal pieces,
	the carrot and the broom standing in silent homage on the wet
	ground. While I was collecting the small coal pieces, I heard my
	mother�s voice: �Come inside, you will get cold.�

	the coal pieces in my hand and as if I was talking to my
	snowman, I asked: �Mom, do good people always laugh nice?�

	did you come up with this? Who told you this?�

	My snowman.�

	Engin\' stories are like brain twisters for me. He writes in
	riddles. I can not find an eloquent word for it so I will simply
	say that he is very intelligent . His second (Talking heads),
	fourth (There is a smell of memories in the air), fifth (The
	child inside me) and eighth (The scent)stories are like puzzles
	for me which I haven\'t been able to crack.
	hen I read \"The
	Snowman\", for the first time� I thought it was about new year.
	In the second reading, I thought it was about laughter. I am
	still in the process of understanding it fully.

	e wrote�
	\"After we got the glue off our hands.....\". I really liked it
	(his well known \"attention to detail\" in play).

	have 3
	questions if somebody would like to answer.

	e wrote that
	\"his smiling face had become wicked adjectives of unfilial
	children\". Why did the face change in the first place? Is it
	not important in the story what made the face� change?

	hat
	is the hidden meaning of \"What happened to my snowman had upset
	me more than people who laughed at me\"?

	hat is the meaning
	of these concluding lines?
	"Looking at the coal pieces in my
	hand and as if I was talking to my snowman, I asked: �Mom, do
	good people always laugh nice?�
	�How did you come up with this?
	Who told you this?�
	�Who can it be? My snowman.�� \"
