THE LAST ISLAND
Εκδότης OTHER PRESS , ISBN 9781635422221
A retired General - the leader of the latest military takeover - moves to
a peaceful island and decides to rid it of what he sees as its last remaining
'anarchic' components. The island, described by its people as a utopia,
the last peaceful resort for mankind, morphs into dystopia when the
General, in the hope of bringing order to the island life, begins to act
more and more like a dictator. The first ones to revolt against the General
are the seagulls.
Originally written in 2008 as a condemnation of the authoritarian Turkish
regime, THE LAST ISLAND has only grown more relevant, foreshadowing
the events and aftermath of Istanbul's bloody Gezi Park/Taksim Square
political protests of 2013, as well as the protest movements of our time
