The loss of communication, which modern man takes for granted, is the loss of one of the most basic human properties. Although this is not a literal case modern man experiences, such a possibility might mean the loss of socialisation, the ability to live in a community and co-existence forms in a symbolic level. The short-short story titled “Strange Family” by Ferit Edgü deals with man’s problem of communication with others in a symbolic way and focuses on how, for this reason, this lack of communication turns into primitive co-existence.
