Turkish-Kurdish novelist Burhan Sönmez speaks about his novel, Labyrinth, in English translation by Ümit Hussein. We discuss how memory (and forgetting) informs personal and collective memory, the book’s relation to poetry, and how it may reflect a changing Istanbul. Recorded at the Festivaletteratura in Mantova, Italy. Enjoy an excerpt from Labyrinth in the Trafika Europe 16: Turkish Delight - here: https://cld.bz/novFJxr/10/
