When I moved to Turkey, I was surprised by how many John Steinbeck titles were in print here, but then I learned of the tradition of the "village novel" here in Turkey, most known through Yaşar Kemal. This truly was a worldwide movement in the 1920s and 30s.
Hi Nicola, thanks for your kind comments and I am glad you enjoyed the post. I want to write more of this kind of post, but noticed that this one got less attention than others. So your remarks are welcome encouragement! I will be writing about China at some point too. Perhaps you will do the same?
I enjoyed reading this, particularly against the background of my own travels to China and one trip to Peru. Some interesting links for me to follow and share. Thanks.
