Love TED talks and just so happened to stumble upon this month's author, Elif Safak, discussing the art of storytelling, the supernatural and the mystical powers of the circle. https://youtu.be/mMpKvff138M

Wow. How unfortunate and scary. Reminds me of other authors who have had similar fates for writing controversial books such as Salman Rushdie and Paulo Coelho. Thanks for the share.

An article Elif Şafak just wrote on freedom of speech oppression currently going on in Turkey titled "The Silencing of Writers in Turkey". Very disheartening and disturbing info included. FYI

It really is. Regardless of recent events, I feel fortunate enough to have been raised in a free society.
