Elif Shafak: The politics of fiction | Video on TED.com
"In the end, stories move like whirling dervishes, drawing circles beyond circles. They connect all humanity, regardless of identity politics. ...
Come let us be friends for once; let us make life easy on us; let us be lovers and loved ones; the earth shall be left to no one."

Elif Şafak (also spelled Elif Shafak; born 25 October 1971) is a Turkish writer and the best-selling female author in Turkey. She has published novels written in Turkish as well as English.
Şafak has been characterized by critics as continuously and creatively blending Western and Eastern traditions of storytelling to generate a fiction that is both local and universal. Her writing has been defiant of bigotry and xenophobia, deeply involved in feminism, Sufism and Ottoman culture, with "a particular genius for depicting backstreet Istanbul" (Source: Wikipedia)
