Reading fiction, loving fiction does not mean escaping into a dream world, running away from reality. Just the opposite: fiction brings us closer to humanity, to life, to truth. It is a bit unfortunate that in the English language we use the word fiction as if it were the opposite of fact. Literature helps us see the world more clearly, more closely. It was such a joy to be a guest on @davidperell How I Write Podcast 📚📚📚 Edebiyat sevgisi, yazarlık üzerine bu söyleşi çok kıymetliydi, yürekten teşekkür ederim
