Turkey is regularly "making headlines" since the recent attempted failed coup of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's regime in 2016.
Author Asli Erdogan's was one of many journalists and writers imprisoned shortly thereafter on "terrorism charges," based on her vocal critique of Erdogan's regime.
Her arrest has made international news being reported on in the New York Times, the Guardian UK, and elsewhere. PEN America advocates on her behalf.
Stories about trauma, confinement and incarceration reflect Asli's previous experiences and personal knowledge of imprisonment and exile.
Writers confronting and challenging oppressive regimes are paying with their lives, and they deserve our attention. Publishing this book at a time when Asli Erdogan is facing life imprisonment helps to shine light on her situation and that of other writers and journalists in similar situations.
City Lights continues our commitment to publishing quality literature in translation from Turkey. Previous books and writers we've published include "Motherland Hotel" by Yusuf Atilgan, and "Death in Troy" and "A Long Day's Evening" by Bilge Karasu, two of Turkey's premier modernists.
