By Kemal Yashar
Yashar Kemal, 2015
Yashar Kemal, celebrated as Turkey's foremost novelist, masterfully crafts narratives of staggering violence and profound beauty. His works deeply explore the enduring social and historical conflicts that shape the Middle East. "Iron Earth, Copper Sky" is part of "The Wind from the Plains" trilogy, considered by many to be his magnum opus. The novel examines the psychological impact of debt and fear on a community of poor cotton-pickers, whose anxieties transform their creditor into a figure of irrational tyranny.
