Description
Every Fire You Tend by Sema Kaygusuz is a powerful and deeply significant novel that grapples with the legacy of genocide, gendered violence, and historical memory. Inspired by the author's own grandmother's experiences, this densely lyrical and allusive work explores the weight of anguish and silence in a narrative anchored by mysticism, wisdom, and beauty. Set against the backdrop of contemporary Istanbul, the story is rooted in the brutal events of 1938, when the Turkish Republic launched an operation to erase an entire community of Zaza-speaking Alevi Kurds. This novel is a powerful exploration of a still-taboo subject, shedding light on the fault lines of modern-day Turkey. Through its vivid prose and nuanced exploration of trauma and memory, Every Fire You Tend offers a profound and moving portrayal of a community's struggle to survive and thrive in the face of violence and erasure.
