Time: 07:30 pm

Event Description: Yunus Emre Institute in London is proud to host the book launch of ‘Madhouse’, a new novel from Ayfer Tunc, in collaboration with Istros Books on the 12th of March at 7pm. The event will start with a talk moderated by Lawrence Sherwin followed by a book signing with Ayfer Tunç.

The Highly Unreliable Account of the Brief History of a Madhouse is an unputdownable novel that moves at a giddy pace. This literary palimpsest of Turkey defies spatial or temporal boundaries: one end in the nineteenth century, and the other in the twenty-first, moving between the Caucuses, Ottoman Empire and Republic of Turkey, Hungary, France, Sweden, the USA and back again. It startles anew with a totally unexpected turn of events immediately after deceiving the reader into anticipating the end of a plot line.
