This week, as the world has been reacting to the shocking news of the attack on the author Sir Salman Rushdie at a book event in New York State, The Cultural Frontline asks what this attack means for the world of writers and publishing and what it says about freedom of expression in literature today. Tina Daheley is joined by the Kurdish author and former human rights lawyer Burhan Sönmez, the Ugandan novelist Kakwenza Rukirabashaija and the US Irish writer and literary translator Maureen Freely. Sir Salman is one of the most celebrated writers in the English language. His second novel, Midnight's Children, won the Booker Prize for fiction, one of literature's top awards. It was Rushdie's fourth novel, The Satanic Verses, which became his most controversial book, and he was forced to go into hiding as a result of the backlash after it was published in 1988. Many Muslims reacted with fury to it, arguing that the portrayal of the Prophet Muhammad was a grave insult to their faith. He faced death threats and the then-Iranian leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa - or decree - calling for Rushdie's assassination. In recent years the author seemed to enjoy a new level of freedom. Please be warned that there are descriptions of torture in this programme which some listeners may find distressing.

…Bir gün Princeton Kampüsü'nde çiçek açmış kiraz ağaçlarını hayranlıkla izliyordum. Sevgili arkadaşım Ed Meservey ile birlikteydim. O bana, “Bu çiçek açmış çiçekli kiraz ağaçları İstanbul'da, Boğaziçi'ndeki erguvan ağaçlarının yanında hiçbir şey.” deyince bunun üzerine ona “Bana daha fazlasını anlat.” dedim… Yıllar sonra, kızı Maureen Freely'e 1960'da İstanbul'a neden geldiklerini anlatırken böyle söylüyor John Freely. Bir fizikçi ve bilim tarihçisi olan Freely'yi, daha çok bir İstanbul âşığı ve yorulmak bilmez bir kent gezgini olarak tanıyoruz. Çoğu İstanbul ve Osmanlı tarihi üzerine olmak üzere elliden fazla kitaba imza atmış olması da cabası. Modern çağın Evliya Çelebi'si yakıştırmasına yaraşır bir kariyer hikâyesine sahip. Hiç ummadığı şekilde yolu İstanbul'a düşen ve tutkuyla bağlandığı bu şehirde nihayet bulan ilginç hikâyesine ana hatlarıyla değinmek gerekirse: Freely, 1926 yılında New York'da İrlanda asıllı bir ailenin çocuğu olarak dünyaya gelir. Henüz 17 yaşındayken II. Dünya Savaşı'na katılarak Pasifik'te, Birmanya ve Çin'de komando olarak görev yapar. Savaşın ardından eğitimine devam eder ve New York Üniversitesi'nde fizik alanında doktorasını tamamlar. 1960'ta Robert Kolej'de fizik öğretmenliği yapmak üzere yolu İstanbul'a düşer. Freely için hayatının akışını bütünüyle değiştirecek bir dönemdir bu. Sonra tekrar New York'a döner; bir süre Boston, Londra, Atina ve Venedik'te yaşadıktan sonra 1993 yılında bu sefer akademisyen olarak Boğaziçi Üniversitesi'ne gelir ve hayatının sonuna kadar burada, İstanbul'da yaşar. Bu yıllar içerisinde döneminin önemli sanatçı ve yazarları ile dostluk kurar. Aliye Berger, Ömer Uluç, Yaşar Kemal ve daha niceleri ancak kendi deyimiyle her zaman sokaktaki insanlarla kendini daha rahat hisseder İstanbul'da en iyi arkadaşlarının ilginç hayat hikâyelerini öğrendiği taksi şoförleri olduğunu söyler. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yeditepe-fatih/message

She is well-known as a translator of the Turkish Nobel Laureate, Orhan Pamuk. She has also brought into English several classics as well as works by Turkish rising stars.For many years, she worked as a journalist in London, writing about literature, social justice, and human rights as chair of the translators association. And more recently as a president and chair of English Pen, she has campaigned for writers and freedom of expression, internationally.  She teaches at the university of Warwick.Maureen talks about her love of languages and of the challenges she faced when she was translating  Orhan Pamuk's Nobel prize winning novel.  Along the way we talk about what it means to be be accepted in a country that is not your own. Maureen is charming, eloquent and profoundly philosophical about life and our place in the world. I absolutely loved recording this episode and hope you enjoy listening to it. What a great guest!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maureen_Freelyhttps://www.harvardmagazine.com/2017/11/maureen-freely-translator______________________If you would like to talk to me about your two worlds, I would love to hear from you.

TANK Book Talks: Sema Kaygusuz with Maureen Freely and Nicholas Glastonbury In 1938, the Turkish Republic launched an operation to systematically erase an entire community of Zaza-speaking Kurds in the eastern Anatolian region of Dersim, slaughtering thousands and leaving those who survived displaced and decoupled from their community and culture. Sema Kaygusuz's novel Every Fire You Tend is a mythic reckoning with this history of violence and its afterlife in contemporary Turkey. Here, she is joined by two of her translators, Maureen Freely and Nicholas Glastonbury, to discuss translation, trauma and “Turkification”, the state-led effort to homogenise Turkish national identity through dispossession, forced relocation and, among other things, the renaming of people, places and animals.
