Boston Turkish Arts and Culture Festival's Literature Series

Presentation of the Novel Caravaggio: The Painter's Rebellion in discussion with the author Gündüz Vassaf and Meryem Demir, preceptor in Modern Turkish, Harvard University

The Painter's Rebellion is significant as the first prose novel of the prolific author Gündüz Vassaf.

A voyage of discovery into the multifaceted character of the enigmatic Caravaggio, intertwined with a love story. This 'non-formulaic' text, incorporating fiction, biography, poetry and song, questions what it means to be human, examining the role of art, literature, history, religion, and gender in dialogue with eminent figures across history.

The novel is a love letter to art and passion and a search for justice for Giordano Bruno and Caravaggio.

This event is a part of the 28th Boston Turkish Arts and Culture Festival.
