Seer

The stories in “Seher” are not the work of mere enthusiasm, but of deep love — for humanity, for life itself — delicately woven with subtle humor.
Before us stands not a prisoner writing to pass the time, but a true writer who, until now, had not yet reached his readers.

When I read Demirtaş’s stories, I thought: If only his sense of duty toward his people, his country, and the world had not outweighed his calling to be a writer.
Then I felt ashamed of the selfishness of my artistic soul — for if he had chosen literature alone, art might have gained, but Turkey would have lost a politician of Demirtaş’s caliber, a future leader, a beacon of peace and freedom.

– Oya Baydar 

Politics and art are not alike.
Politics is about saying what is politically right at the right time, often hiding one’s true thoughts.
Art, on the other hand, is the opposite: it lays the heart bare and shares its most secret feelings with the widest audience.
From this perspective, Selahattin Demirtaş’s stories deserve a very special place.
These tales, echoing the cry of a heart sensitive to suffering, reach a far deeper human vein than politics ever could.

That the book is written in such careful, fluent Turkish makes it admirable both aesthetically and socially.
What can unite everyone in this country is hidden in the magical creativity of art — for art is the language of conscience.
And Selahattin Demirtaş speaks that language.
