Omschrijving
The Booker Prize-shortlisted author on how staying optimistic can make our world better.
One of the best writers in the world today
Sharp and elegant ... I did find myself hoping that Facebook and Like (or whatever they are now called) might one day come across this little book - and thinking that its calm and generous view of the world might give them back some part of the optimism that had greeted their arrival.
A calmly rational response to extraordinary circumstances ... there is comfort in having a voice like Shafak's to guide us
Insightful and very moving
A deeply thought-provoking delight
Fortifying and optimistic
One of the most important writers at work today
Shafak's writings are an embodiment of radical remembrance; with existential fervour, they pull together the past and future to bring forth a fully realised present that feels all the more urgent
PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS BOOKS: 'Expect vibrant, vivid and eye-opening descriptions of Middle Eastern life propelled by a tender storyline, all in Shafak's haunting, beautiful and considered prose'
Incredibly sensuous and poetic and evocative
Richly uplifting... truly beautiful writing
Simply magnificent, a truly captivating work of immense power and beauty, on the essence of life and its end
A vivid carnival of life and death, cruelty and kindness, love, politics and deep humanity. Brilliant!
Beautifully written ... a complex vision of how emotions interact with political life
Beautifully written ... calls for the importance of centring knowledge, storytelling, empathy, and wisdom in our lives.
Elif Shafak is an award-winning British-Turkish writer, storyteller, essayist, academic, public speaker and activist. She writes in both Turkish and English, and has published seventeen books, eleven of which are novels. Her work has been translated into 50 languages. Her latest novel 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and RSL Ondaatje Prize; and chosen Blackwell's Book of the Year. An advocate for women's rights, LGBT rights and freedom of speech, Shafak is an inspiring public speaker and twice TED Global speaker, each time receiving a standing ovation. In 2017 she was chosen by Politico as one of the twelve people "who will give you a much needed lift of the heart".
