22 JUN. 2021 · Are authors better equipped to handle lockdowns? Why is the pandemic dividing rather than uniting the world? And how do you handle being prosecuted for something a fictional character in your novel says?

Elif has earned a global and devoted readership for titles that range from The Forty Rules Of Love, How To Stay Sane In An Age Of Division and The Bastard of Istanbul, the latter of which led to her being put on infamous trial - and emphatically acquitted - in 2006 for “insulting Turkishness” by addressing the Armenian genocide.
Aside from writing, she is also a political scientist and passionate women’s rights and freedom of speech activist.

25:28 - How she looks back on being prosecuted in Turkey for the views of her fictional characters
27:14 - Why trust has to be restored in democracy, for the protection of women
30:25 - The truly imaginative guest who’ll join a legendary English writer and influential German-American political scientist at her dream dinner table
