The Silent Map
Essays on the vanishing crafts of Anatolia
Nineteen essays distilled from eleven years of reporters’ notebooks.
About the book
Boat caulkers, felt makers, saddlers, coppersmiths, tightrope walkers and the last letter writer. Drawn from the notebooks Yalın kept during her years as a reporter, these essays argue that when a craft disappears, what is lost is a language.
From the book
“Every craft has its own silence; the master doesn’t speak, the hands do.”
In the press
“A reporter’s door into literature.”
— Kültür Servisi
