Ece Temelkuran: »Nation of Strangers«

In the organizer's words:

What does home mean when you've lost it? In Nation of Strangers, Turkish author Ece Temelkuran tells of uprooting, exile and the feeling of becoming a stranger - in her own country, which she no longer wants, and in her new surroundings, which she does not fully accept. She refers to her own experiences after the political break with Turkey and her encounters with people from all over the world who, for a variety of reasons, are no longer able to return to their homeland. Temelkuran creates a picture of a new, global community: a nation of strangers that emerges beyond borders, passports and origins. But do these foreigners still have a home of their own? Salon host Lida Shams-Mostofi asks this question. The German passages will be read by actress Denise M'Baye.
