I am My Country is a collection of short stories featuring heavy doses of magical realism set against a backdrop of war-torn Turkey.
Kenan Orhan is an imaginative writer with a gift for beautiful, philosophical turns of phrase. The pacing is very slow. I enjoyed every story but found that one was enough to tide me over for quite some time whenever I was reading.
