On Thursday 21st of May, we would be delighted if you could join us for the event ‘The Well of Trapped Words, with Sema Kaygusuz and Maureen Freely’, running as part of Turkish Literature Evenings at SOAS. In celebration of Sema’s work appearing in English for the first time, SOAS have organised this discussion between author and translator in which we will hear reflections upon Turkish Literature, translation and never before heard extracts from the forthcoming Comma Press publication, The Well of Trapped Words.
