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"--
