Children of Jotunheim – The Philosophical Background of Its Narrative Style
Many readers might perceive the novel’s “emotionally distant” style as a weakness. However, this distance forms the philosophical mirror at the heart of the story. Just as we feel “detached” when reading about past atrocities in history books, I deliberately created the same sense of distance in Children of Jotunheim.

That's wonderful to hear, Mehmet! Thanks for your answer; I am looking forward to reading your writing.
Angela wrote: “What languages do you write in? I have seen your work in English, German, and French.”Hi Angela, I write my books in Turkish, and as you mentioned, they are available in three translated editions. The issue you raised about translation sometimes causing a loss of meaning is unfortunately a difficulty I have also experienced.

Hi Mehmet, it's a sheer delight to read Turkish authors, Turkish literature, and history. The only challenge is having to rely on translations, and I suspect they often fail to fully convey the beauty and style of the Turkish language.
P.S. I am also curious: What languages do you write in? I have seen your work in English, German, and French, but I suppose I should really ask you that in the "Ask the Author" section.

It’s a pleasure to connect, Angela! I’ve also had a look at your impressive library and it’s wonderful to see you enjoying Turkish literature. I’m really looking forward to seeing what you’re reading and writing.
Best
