EUROPEAN UNION PRIZE FOR LITERATURE


Book Awarded: Sürgün (Exile)
Synopsis:The stories in Exile are monologues by a variety of real-life and fictional characters. Ilhan has a wide-ranging and deep understanding of human experience and suffering, and she is capable of expressing the multi-faceted realities of life strikingly and plainly, sensitive to its pains and injustices. Her literary approach is in harmony with Einstein’s aphorism: “A formula should be as simple as possible, but not simpler”.
The fact that the monologues constitute a relatively connected whole is another positive aspect of Exile. The succinct monologues form a polylogue. This is a short story collection that has the taste of a novel.
