NoroKalkan Publishing
The thinking behind NöroKalkan came not from an app but from a notebook. Two short novels published under the name Arda Giray Işık — The Ant and the Vacuum Cleaner and pig’men’T — tell the same quiet mechanism, long before the crisis, this time from inside a story.
The links below go to the product pages on each platform. Both books are now published.
An Allegory of a System and an Addiction
Ant, the colony’s best worker, hears a low, warm voice from far beyond the known ground — a voice that asks nothing of it. Across forty nights inside the dust bag, it meets a nameless light that only counts, shows and asks. A short, imagistic allegory of behavioural addiction — written for the one inside, and for the one waiting outside the door.
A Novella on Accepted Faces
Over three days on his grandfather’s farm, thirteen-year-old Tuan gives a pig a name of his own invention: pig man T. A philosophical frame narrative about colour, masks and memory — set in the same universe as The Ant and the Vacuum Cleaner, another face of the same quiet mechanism.
"This book is set in the same universe as The Ant and the Vacuum Cleaner — another face of the same quiet mechanism. Readers who take the two books in sequence will notice the hum comes from inside in one, and from outside in the other."ARDA GİRAY IŞIK — AUTHOR’S NOTE
