Elif ?afak Instagram – “‘Being a storyteller means being interested in silences.
Shafak’s writing is an act of resistance against erasure. In her work, silence is not an absence. It is an ache, a presence of something lost but waiting to be heard. Shafak reminds us that exile is not just geographical, but it’s emotional, spiritual, and cultural. The voiceless are not voiceless; they are just unheard. And literature will pull the forgotten back into existence and force us to bear witness.”

Bu hafta edebiyat ve felsefe üzerine bu söyleşi benim için çok değerliydi #ondakikaotuzsekizsaniye #edebiyatvefelsefe | Posted on 22/Mar/2025 17:13:36
