Reviews
"Selahattin Demirtas' short stories are beautiful and full of surprises , especially in their bold portrayal of women. A new addition to Turkey's tragic canon of literature written in prison ." -- Jennifer Clement, author of Gun Love and President of PEN International "Selahattin Demirtas is Turkey's most famous political prisoner . He is also that rarest of beasts, a liberal, a democrat and a feminist in a part of the world that is more frequently associated with coercion and intimidation. By turns playful, didactic and full of love for his native Kurdistan, Dawn is a ray of light in the penumbra of today's Middle East ." -- Christopher de Bellaigue, author of The Islamic Enlightenment " Marvelous and deeply affecting , the imprisoned politician Selahattin Demirtas brings to life the great heart and spirit of ordinary Kurdish people. His stories are horrific yet hopeful, heart-wrenching yet humorous, and offer much-needed insight into what everyday life is like in twenty-first-century Turkey ." -- Christiane Bird, author of A Thousand Sighs, A Thousand Revolts: Journeys in Kurdistan, "Selahattin Demirtas is Turkey's most famous political prisoner. He is also that rarest of beasts, a liberal, a democrat and a feminist in a part of the world that is more frequently associated with coercion and intimidation.

Synopsis
A new book from Sarah Jessica Parker's imprint, SJP for Hogarth: Written from behind bars, the unforgettable collection from one of Turkey's leading politicians and most powerful storytellers. In this essential collection, Selahattin Demirtas's arresting stories capture the voices of ordinary people living through extraordinary times. A cleaning lady is caught up in a violent demonstration on her way to work. A five-year-old girl attempts to escape war-torn Syria with her mother by boat. A suicide bombing shatters a neighborhood in Aleppo. And in the powerful story, 'Seher', a young factory worker is robbed of her dreams in an unimaginable act of violence. Written with Demirtas's signature wit, warmth, and humor, and alive with the rhythms of everyday speech, DAWN paints a remarkable portrait of life behind the headlines in Turkey and the Middle East - in all its hardship and adversity, freedom and hope.
