The narrator of Cold Nights of Childhood grows up in a rapidly
changing Turkey, where the atmosphere is nationalist, patriarchal,
technocratic. As a misfit in search of freedom, love and happiness,
she escapes to Berlin, is overcome by depression on her return, and
trapped in a psychiatry clinic for five years. After electroshock
therapy and inhumane treatment, she is released into the care of
friends and family, making tentative steps in a halting journey
towards recovery. In her unique, unstructured style, Tezer OEzlu
explores the extremity of her inner life and the painful pleasures
of memory. Translated into English for the first time by Maureen
Freely, this novel is a classic akin to The Bell Jar and Good
Morning, Midnight.
