Red carpet for Hakan Günday, the youngest of a young and bubbling Turkish literature. And that rhymes with revolution. (Rebroadcast 4/6/2016)
Hakan Gunday, author of eight explosive and underground novels, comes to us from the Bosphorus, with a dark look, full of political anger. We still remember his terrible Prix Médicis Étranger 2015 for Still : he staged a young kid smuggling illegal immigrants leaving for Greece. Terrible plunge into the inhumanity of our millennium. It’s clear: the extremes interest Hakan Günday, his characters breathe evil, the perspiration of suffering, the nausea of the world. Topazhis latest novel, has just been published by Éditions Galaade.
