Literature from Istanbul and Berlin
Oya Baydar und Murathan Mungan
/ Thorsten Becker & Tim Staffel

Thursday , 2. September
20.00 Uhr

Works of Turkish author Oya Baydar deal with the collapse of the socialist system and the human dimension in times of radical political change. She lived in Germany for 12 years as a political exile. In 2002, she was awarded the Orhan-Kemal-Novel-Prize, the most important award for fiction in Turkey. The narrator, theatre author and poet Murathan Mungan remains true to the narrative tradition of the Orient and uses myths and fairy tales from his native country, adding his own special accents and so transforming them. He counts among Turkey’s most famous authors, but is virtually unknown
in Germany.
