Cağaloğlu with its cheap hotel rooms and morning cafes hosting junkies; Sultanahmet with its guitar-playing hippies, drug dealers looking for goods to sell anywhere in the world and chasing connections, anti-war protesters on a European tour; Tophane with its opium addicts, auto thieves, swindlers, extortionists and unidentified dead on the streets, waiting for drug dealers drooling in its coffeehouses... Berlin with its occupied houses, communes and student organizations; Frankfurt with its migrant workers and unhappy patrons filling the taverns..

Considered one of the most important representatives of German underground literature today, Jörg Fauser tells an autobiographical story of Beatniks from all over the world and their autobiographical struggle for self-realization, oscillating between a different Istanbul with the cholera epidemic and Germany, where Baader Meinhof began to light the fire of revolution in hearts. Although this struggle, in which existence was perhaps only possible through writing and getting one's writings published, was of course interrupted by the high walls of the culture and arts community that closed its doors to different voices, Hammadde Fauser is the most concrete proof that Fauser won this struggle.
