Description was written before the event

Şeyda Kurt gained prominence with her bestseller Radical Tenderness, followed by an examination of hatred as a form of resistance. Now she presents her literary debut: Time of Monsters (Hanser 2026), a novel that weaves together the destructive elements of our society into a wild, cohesive whole.

The setting is an urban neighbourhood, the time is apocalypse - or so an increasing number of people believe, spurred on by a prophecy spreading through the internet. Moderator Anna Bers speaks with Şeyda Kurt about the book and the monsters it brings to the stage.
