LONGLISTED FOR THE 2017 MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE At the heart
of the Ottoman Empire, in the main square of Constantinople, a
niche is carved into ancient stone. Here, the sultan displays the
severed heads of his adversaries. Tundj Hata, the imperial courier,
is charged with transporting heads to the capital - a task he
relishes and performs with fervour. But as he travels through
obscure and impoverished territories, he makes money from illicit
side-shows, offering villagers the spectacle of death. The head of
the rebellious Albanian governor would fetch a very high price. A
surreal tale of rebellion and tyranny from the master of European
literature.
