Quotes from a cursed author, Bedrettin Simsek who is the secret Shakespeare of Turkish literature. When his third book, ‘The Discussions of an Atheist and a Cleric’, was published by one of Turkey's largest publishers in 1998, Bedrettin Simsek was sued because of the complaints, and both him and the publisher received prison sentences on charges of insulting religious values. This sentence was deferred on the condition that he did not commit the same crime again and was written on his record. His conviction made Bedrettin Simsek a criminal forever. All publishing houses closed their doors on his face; he was excluded from the literary world. Because those who break a taboo eventually turn into a taboo themselves.
