za.man*.ya (noun) 1 . time|ia: time land 2 . time|mania: madness of time *zaman means time in Turkish, Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, and many other Semitic languages Kerim is invited for a job interview. He soon understands that it is not an ordinary company, but Time itself. For centuries, the corporation had developed and marketed concepts like minute, hour, music, calendar, clock, and money. Despite its massive market penetration, Time the company still wants to expand its business. The plan is to attack night and sleep, where time-products are not used properly. Kerim is interviewed as a candidate to lead the Mega Night Project. Twelve locations—San Francisco, Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, Buenos Aires, Jamaica, Cape Town, Xochimilco, Venice, Chichen Itza, Greenwich, and Cairo—provide the backdrop. The magical realism is enriched by immortal axolotls, scarabs, weird carnivals, dream watchers, time barcodes, and non-sleepers. In the parallel tale, Kerim’s roommate Selim starts the day in Istanbul. He is a white collar worker, a slave of time. Everyday he catches the 7am ferry, starts work at 8am and leaves at 5pm. He eats not because he is hungry but it is 12:30pm. He is always in a race against time. However, he doesn’t know where he is headed or what his destination is. Unlike Kerim’s remarkable tale, it is an ordinary story based on life, career, expectations, relationships, and self-esteem. Timania blends fiction, fantasy and philosophy while investigating time, immortality, and a quest for joy. It is designed as a lattice of two parallel tales. Although completely dissimilar in theme, genre and narration, they manage to dance through the story. Timania means “time-land” in the first one and “time-mania” in the second. Timania was first published in 2006 in Turkish. The original name was Zamanya. The magical realism is now translated and re-edited for international markets.
