Turkish journalist Ece Temelkuran tours the East Coast

Ece Temelkuran, author of Deep Mountain and one of Turkey's best-known female journalists, will be coming to the US in September. She'll be making tour stops in Ann Arbor, Boston, and Cambridge.

The Guardian has called Temelkuran

"brilliant and beautiful but, above all, brave. You have to be brave if you're a Turkish journalist covering Armenia, with genocide, cynicism, and truth shredded over 95 years. Temelkuran writes about Yerevan and Ankara and mutual incomprehension, but she could be writing about Cyprus, Kashmir, Korea, Israel; anywhere that is locked in a timewarp of malign remembrance."
