The two writers, a jailed Kurdish leader, and a Turkish writer, collaborated on 'Duet in Purgatory' without discussing the plot, characters, or style, taking the writing process as a 'risky gamble.'
The idea to write the novel emerged from the Turkish writer's admiration for the jailed leader's work, leading to their collaboration and creation of a bestselling book across Turkey.
The book explores the last 40 years of Turkey's history and the Kurdish conflict, featuring a retired left-wing lawyer and a bitter ageing general, tracing a path of intertwined stories without a pre-agreed structure.
