To celebrate the launch of her new book Turkey: The Insane and the Melancholy, the Centre for Turkey Studies (CEFTUS) invites you to join the noted and renowned Turkish commentator and novelist Ece Temelkuran for a discussion about her work and the political crisis unfolding in Turkey.
This event will take place between 8pm and 9pm on 12 September 2016 in Committee Room 12 of the House of Commons. This event is kindly hosted by John Woodcock MP for Barrow and Furness.
Turkey: The Insane and the Melancholy examines the historical roots of Turkey’s current authoritarian malaise. Through personal stories, cultural objects and historical moments, Temelkuran provides a beautifully written survey of the nation, this historic ‘bridge between east and west.’
