<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An intimate portrait of the growing friendship between two writers, forged in a Turkish political prison.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Orhan Kemal (1914-1970) was one of Turkey's most popular novelists. He was found guilty for breach of the penal code during his military service, and served a prison sentence from 1938 to 1943. From 1951 he made his living entirely by writing - often with radical, anti-authoritarian content. His prison memoir, Nazim Hikmet'le Üç Buçuk Yil (Three and a Half Years with Nazim Hikmet) was written in 1947 and first published in Turkey in 1965. The Idle Years was published by Peter Owen in the UK in 2008. <p/>Bengisu Rona teaches Turkish language and literature at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.
