Notă biografică
Ece Temelkuran is one of Turkey's best-known authors and political commentators. She was previously a columnist for the Habertürk newspaper, before her outspoken criticism of government repression led to her losing her job. Her previous books in English include Deep Mountain: Across the Turkish-Armenian Divide (2010) and the poetry collection Book of the Edge (2010). Ece has lived in Tunisia, Lebanon, Paris and Oxford to write her novels, which are published in several languages, and now divides her time between Istanbul and Zagreb.

Introduction Yesterday Today/Morning Tomorrow: "What Will Become of This Bridge of Ours?"
Recenzii
A passionate nonfiction work...for readers with a particular interest in Turkish politics, or a more general curiosity about polarized democratic societies with authoritarian patriarchal rulers.
Combining personal reflection, popular culture and smaller vignettes...an insightful and informative study of modern Turkey.
Temelkuran's book does a masterful job of capturing the mood of the country...Temelkuran shines in describing the ways that Erdogan has exploited and exacerbated the country's polarization...the piece de resistance is her portrait of the Gezi Park protests of 2013.
Temelkuran has written a primer for today's chaos, a masterclass in expecting the unexpected. A coup attempt in 2016 seems less surprising when viewed against the four coups of the last six decades, all of which Temelkuran weaves into her mosaic of political history.
A profoundly unconventional piece of political commentary. a courageous reminder of the role creativity and the arts have to play in the collective memory of political events.
A no-holds-barred insight into the psyche of a people.
An intimate book. Each page has the same, almost sensuous, feel present in the works of the poet Nazim Hikmet but absent from some decorated recent Turkish writers.
Through passionate and poetic prose, Temelkuran holds a mirror to Turkey.
Temelkuran excels at understanding how emotional narrative plays into politics.
At times playful, but more often polemical...Temelkuran seethes on the front line of Turkey's culture war.
Astute...a representative example of what an intelligent observer in Turkey thinks and feels about the past fifteen years.
What a brave woman! And what a fine, stylish and intelligent writer! Mixing sarcasm, anger, wit, and irony as well as hard facts, Ece Temelkuran has provided us with an informative and moving account of Turkey's seemingly inexorable drift into authoritarianism.
A vivid portrait of a nation in turmoil...a book that should be on the reading list of everyone who is sincerely interested in this troubled country.
Ece Temelkuran stares modern Turkey squarely in the eye to give a clear-sighted view of the crisis gripping the country. Temelkuran's writing delights in using the riches of language and the power of the image to create vivid insights into Turkey's turbulent past and present.
Part guide, part confidante, Ece Temelkuran brilliantly captures the neurosis at the heart of her country. An important book for anyone who wants to understand modern Turkey.
A wonderful book that gives a fascinating if frightening insight into the reasons why Turkey is becoming an authoritarian state. It gives an engrossing and intimate sense of the impact this development has on every aspect of life.
Ece Temelkuran is a patriot - no other word will do - who, with this book, has become one with those who have stood up throughout history to despotic and criminal leaders.
