Writing in Red: Literary and Revolutionary Encounters Acro ss Turkey and the Soviet Union

Writing in Red traces the literary and exilic itineraries of Turkish communist and for mer communist writers shaped by the history of Turkish and Soviet state relations of “cultural diplomacy,” the Comintern policies, a nd waves of arrests, detentions, and repressive crackdowns aimed at the Turkish Communist Party (TKP) during the first half of the twentieth cen tury. Bringing together a wide range of writings, Writing in Red argues these works belong as much to Turkish literature as to a transnat ional Soviet republic of letters and a global archive of “world re volution.” I suggest that in devising a universalizable politics o f language, revolutionary time, sexual ethics, and a humanist ontology, Turkish communist and ex-communist writers recorded a prehistory of cont emporary dissent.
