Summary:
"A resilient Turkish
writer
's inspiring account of his imprisonment that provides crucial insight into political censorship amidst the global rise of authoritarianism. The destiny
I
put down in my novel has become mine.
I
am now under arrest like the hero
I
created years ago.
I
await the decision that
will
determine my future, just as he awaited his.
I
am unaware of my destiny, which has perhaps already been decided, just as he was unaware of his.
I
suffer the pathetic torment of profound helplessness, just as he did. Like a cursed oracle,
I
foresaw my future years ago not knowing that it was my own. Confined in a cell four meters long,
imprisoned
on absurd, Kafkaesque charges, novelist Ahmet Altan is one of many writers persecuted by Recep Tayyip Erdogan's oppressive regime. In this extraordinary
memoir
, written from his prison cell, Altan reflects upon his sentence, on a life whittled down to a courtyard covered by bars, and on the hope and solace a
writer
's mind can provide, even in the darkest places"--Publisher.
