Audio is fine, but I would've probably got more out of this book if I read it on the page.

The review on the cover "Read this - it will explain why you ever read anything, why anyone ever writes" by A. L. Kennedy might sound like clickbate material, but in fact it happens to be the best/only way to describe this book.

Après cette lecture, je suis complètement soufflé, ému, sans mots. De la grande littérature et un exemple de résilience incroyable.

Zoo mooi. Hij had het over veel dingen die ik voor lief neem. Hierdoor werd ik me van heel veel kleine onderdelen van vrijheid bewust en erg dankbaar.

„Ako jasnovidec hľadiaci do krištáľovej gule som sa v šere izby díval na slovo vo svojich rukách: šťastie. Aké len bolo šarmantné, aké skvostné. A odolné voči všetkým mojim pokusom vymámiť jeho tajomstvo.
Zakaždým, keď som sa mu prizrel, vyzeralo ináč.”

Táto útla knižka je zhmotnenou odpoveďou na otázku, načo nám je vôbec literatúra. Zároveň je aj odpoveďou na otázku, prečo som nikdy nebola v a ani sa tak skoro nevyberiem do Turecka.

Ahmeta Altana nakoniec predsa len 14. apríla 2021 prepustili z väzenia.

Writer Ahmet Altan has been sentenced to life in prison in Turkey. In this short book, he describes his arrest, life in prison and much, much more. A light read on a heavy topic! Got some great thoughts and ideas from this book.
Highly recommended.

Wow. By the end I felt that I was in that cell with him, and he was out here with me. And, googling, to find that he was released in November, only to be re-detained again a few days later. This is another book that reaches into my life and makes me do something different. In this case, I am not exactly sure yet what. Join Amnesty International, for sure. Write letters maybe. Locally, support the City of Asylum, which provides sanctuary to endangered writers from around the world. What more?
