Starting with the basic question "what is this place?",
award-winning journalist and novelist Ece Temelkuran guides us
through her "beloved country". In challenging the authoritarian AKP
government - for which she lost her job as a journalist -
Temelkuran draws strength and wisdom from people, places and
artistic expression. The result is a beautifully rendered account
of the struggles, hopes and tragedies which make Turkey what it is
today. Lamenting the commercialisation and authoritarianism which
increasingly characterises Turkish society, Temelkuran sees hope in
the Gezi Park protests of 2013, the electoral breakthrough of the
progressive HDP party in 2015 and in the simple kindness of
ordinary people. Much more than either straightforward history or
memoir, Turkey: the Insane the Melancholy is like sitting with a
friendly stranger who, over raki or coffee, reveals the secrets of
this rich and complex country - the historic "bridge" between east
and west.
