Sisyphus: The Boy With Two Hearts

By Aram Kakay Falah

Aram Kakay Falah, an eminent voice from the heart of Iraqi Kurdistan, has carved a distinguished niche for himself in the world of Kurdish literature. With a writing career spanning over 35 years, his published works have reverberated deeply among Kurdish literati.

Sisyphus: The Boy with Two Hearts is a modern retelling of the ancient Sisyphean tale. It replaces the boulder with an artificial heart, exploring the myriad facets of heartbreak, both inflicted by others and self-imposed. The narrative weaves profound life questions, from the romantic dilemmas of Mardin, who has to choose between two brothers with whom she is in love, the heart's dual nature explored by Dr. Bawanur, to the self-inflicted pain of lost love experienced by Malak. Intriguingly, Falah also explores the theme of identity through names, illustrating how Malak's unconventional name affects his life and relationships.

This mesmerizing literary journey makes Aram Kakay Falah's work a compelling read for anyone seeking to explore authentic Kurdish storytelling.
