Aslı Erdoğan evokes her childhood with her mother, her maturity marked by political, aesthetic and feminist commitment, and the exile from a lost country. Writing is an attempt to touch the invisible, and Istanbul, with the Galata district and the Bosphorus, becomes the symbolic centre of her inner world.

Aimed at a general audience interested in autobiographical narrative and contemporary Turkish literature.
Aslı Erdoğan is a prize-winning Turkish writer, author, human rights activist, and columnist for Özgür Gündem and formerly for Radikal, ex political prisoner, particle physicist. Her second novel has been published in English, and eight books translated into twenty languages.
