Forty-Nine Ways to Leave

Hulki Okan Tabak

Hulki Okan Tabak is the author of Forty-Nine Ways to Leave. He is a writer, photographer, vibe coder and finance professional nowadays acting in advisory capacity. I think he is a receptionist who helps to place people, ideas and things where they are good to one another.

Forty-Nine Ways to Leave is a collection of forty-nine short stories about the many ways a person leaves — a lover, a city, a body, a world — with Istanbul and its ferries as the recurring ground. The book was made by Okan with Claude; the website around it was designed and coded by Claude upon his direction. How the book was made tells the rest.
