I translated three of my satirical novels published in Turkey into English. I'm looking for a publisher. How can I find a list of small but courageous publishers who value literary quality? Are there any publishers open to anti-imperialist criticism who can tolerate my hilarious critiques?
AK press or Haymarket Books maybe?
No, they're pretending to be dissidents, acting as spies for the ruling power, identifying radical Britons and Americans and reporting them to intelligence agencies. They haven't responded to my emails, I'm absolutely certain. There are many such institutions in Turkey, so be careful!
You know what the problem is? I live in an exploited country, I write satirical novels and essays, and I write at a very high level in terms of literary standards. The powers that exploit the world don't want my book published. I use my pen more effectively than Che's machine gun.
I don't know any other language than English, I have to publish it in English first, I have no doubt that there are thousands of intelligent, honest, fearless English people in the land of Magna Carta, but I can't reach them, mainstream media can be found on the internet.
