None of you get the point.. What I meant by "subject" is that a Turk can't talk bullshit about his own people and country just for taking attention and like I said before, gaining prestige. If you read his books, you would see he's also insulting M. Kemal Atatürk in his books. He's an enemy to his own country, he's an ungrateful. In Turkey, we have some sensitive points and no one can touch those points, want or not this is my country.
He has been writing fiction for decades, from what I have now read. That he is gaining prestige and attention is likely a result of his work, not what impels it. You know, little things like winning the Nobel Prize in Literature (among a host of other critical prizes), that kind of thing. I did want to thank you - I have never read his work before, but I am looking forward to it. I've got My Name is Red and Snow on order. Speaking as a citizen of the U.S., we have some "sensitive points," too. Yet folks are allowed to do much more than "touch on" those points. The problem is that one's "sensitive points" may be another's "truth." Scurrying to stamp out another's "sensitive points" is the antithesis of free speech, it seems to me. A strong society is strong enough to withstand words - isn't it?
leet: If you can't point out problems, you can't fix problems. Yours is a recipe for a slowly degenerating civilization.
I believe Turkey's secularism stems from them wanting to be feel "wanted" by Europe. I might be wrong here, but I think most Turkeys are Muslims in name only.
