I Will Never See the World Again | 
pickThis was great- life affirming, witty, deep, ironic, and tragic. Who can deny a writer when they write “Because like all writers, I have magic. I can pass through your walls with ease.” I have trouble seeing how you can keep a good writer down. Shame on Erdogan.
pickMr Altan uses his imagination and love of stories to weave an alternative reality for himself. It allows him to be free even while serving a life sentence in a Turkish prison for “subliminal messaging”. The only downside to this very beautifully written memoir is in its allowing us to forget the author is sitting in prison while we luxuriate in his talented attempt at mental freedom.
I have read a few prison memoirs by writers jailed for political reasons, but this feels more painful as he is still in jail.
This book will come out in october. It is by a Turkish journalist who was given a life sentence after being convicted for sending “subliminal messages” during his tv program. Please get the word out. A life sentence!!
