At the British Museum, this was an extraordinary event with the great Mary Beard. Flanked by remarkable lamassu sculptures, we talked about my new novel #thereareriversinthesky We talked about some of the central themes in the book, including cultural heritage and memory, and how these massive sculptures of Ancient Mesopotamian civilisations have ended up in the British museum. We discussed at length how leading museums today need to engage in the important debate about the complexities and mistakes of the past and how they also need to actively engage in finding a new inclusive narrative and a constructive way forward with regards to the future of these beautiful artefacts. We talked about some of the most complex and urgent and universal issues, including questions about cultural preservation, repatriation and international collaboration. Literature can be a calm and nuanced space to open up the most pressing issues of our times. Thank you for this magical evening. Being in the presence of objects so impossibly old was profoundly inspiring.

I struggle to find the words to write. A young, brilliant Ugandan female athlete was murdered in cold blood in Kenya by a man whose cruelty knew no bounds. The media coverage has been deeply problematic, putting women, once again, under the microscope. This was a horrific case of misogyny, hatred and violence against women and #femicide It is not a stand-alone crime. The Kenyan Parliament needs to urgently criminalise femicide. All countries around the world must do the same. Please remember her name with love and respect. May you be surrounded by love #rebeccacheptegei #violenceagainstwomen 📚📚📚 söyleyecek söz bulmakta zorlanıyorum. Dünya çapında başarılı bir atlet, gurur duyulacak bir sporcu, Kenya’da eski erkek arkadaşı tarafından üzerine benzin dökülüp ateşe verilerek katledildi. Bu korkunç kadın düşmanlığı, bu zorbalık tek başına bir hadise değil. Dünya basınında haber verilirken büyüteç hep kadının üzerindeydi; katil zorba erkeğin üzerinde değil. Kenya’da parlamento kadına yönelik şiddet ve cinayetlerin ağır cezalar alması için yasaları değiştirmek zorunda. Tabi ki bu sadece Kenya’yı ilgilendiren bir kriz değil, bütün dünyanın ve Türkiye’nin bu adımları acilen atması çok önemli. Bıkmadan usanmadan #kadınayönelikşiddetehayır #istanbulsözleşmesiyaşatır

My heart is singing with gratitude after a beautiful book launch full of love and literary camaraderie. Thank you to everyone who came to @hatchardspiccadilly to celebrate #thereareriversinthesky It was truly wonderful to see you all. Afterwards many people told me there was such a loving energy in the room, both gentle and strong. I don’t have photos of everyone who was there, I’d have loved to, I’ll be sharing the ones I have received, I will be sharing them with love. #bookloversworld #literaturelovers #womenwhowrite #writersandpoets #newbookrelease #newfiction #literaryfiction #literaryfictionbooks 📚📚📚 dünkü kitap lansmanı o kadar güzel ve içten, sevgi dolu bir akşamdı ki yüreğimde yeri apayrı, çok teşekkür ediyorum gelen herkese.
