520 "A resilient Turkish writer's inspiring account of his
imprisonment that provides crucial insight into political
censorship amidst the global rise of authoritarianism. The
destiny I put down in my novel has become mine. I am now
under arrest like the hero I created years ago. I await
the decision that will determine my future, just as he
awaited his. I am unaware of my destiny, which has perhaps
already been decided, just as he was unaware of his. I
suffer the pathetic torment of profound helplessness, just
as he did. Like a cursed oracle, I foresaw my future years
ago not knowing that it was my own. Confined in a cell
four meters long, imprisoned on absurd, Kafkaesque charges,
novelist Ahmet Altan is one of many writers persecuted by
Recep Tayyip Erdogan's oppressive regime. In this
extraordinary memoir, written from his prison cell, Altan
reflects upon his sentence, on a life whittled down to a
courtyard covered by bars, and on the hope and solace a
writer's mind can provide, even in the darkest places"--
