Sense and Sensibility - A Conversation Beyond Borders (Viviane Reding & Elif Shafak) | DLDwomen 14

[@lamiaarib4826]

This is such an amazing interview. Everyone who hears it will in fact feel fascinated by this great author,she really deserves the Nobel Prize of literature since she is just fantastic. When anyone look at her face words utter themselves and no description can be loyal to her. I truly wish to meet Elif oneday,then tell her that you were always among the authors who participated in building my personality as she claimed in one of her interviews "Books have changed my life" it's a nice slogan to hold in mind,heart and spirit to take your first path towards success.

[@yukselladguzell4776]

"Eternal woman" such a beautiful description and well-suited

[@shalusaharan6010]

She is truly an inspiration for people across globe. Currently I am reading, the forty rules of love and it's such a treat to my mind and heart.

[@hassaanali8624]

I am reading this book now

[@hassaanali8624]

But as soon as i see her interview i am more excited to see tha

Elif is sensational, amazing and a total muse but Viviane Reding´s introduction and closing remarks are equally precise, generous and heartfelt. Total fan!!!

[@abooswalehmosafeer173]

I am a man who passes by Elif Shafak Mesmerized and for very long memorized. The Eternal Feminine A woman I adore Humble yet strong and powerful

what a wonderful introduction by the interviewer

But if I were in Elif’s place it would be very difficult and uncomfortable for me to talk after an intro like that

[@areeshakhan3427]

This is probably the most heartfelt interview of Elif shafak!

[@mado1235kanul]

Just wow, I really love you Elif, you are amazing and so bright

[@JazzyJean]

Boy, I'm loving Elif Shafak! She has a lot of depth and insight and I couldn't wait to experience more from her works! I intend to read her books based from recommendations and I must say that hearing her talk makes that desire to devour her novels all the more. Gotta start with The Bastard of Istanbul! I wonder how I would find her novels as opposed to Orhan Pamuk's. Really interesting, Elif Shafak is. Great interviewer(Vivian Reding) here, too!

[@hajark4470]

I love her English. So musical!

[@ramdularsingh1435]

Here are two of the most influential women we have to understand and learn from.,...

[@firuzachorshanbieva1164]

Excellent! So much enjoyed the interview. I am literally obsessed with Elif’s speech, have already watched almost all interviews and public speeches of her. A woman of incredible intelligence and femininity, and beauty.

[@faymackie9749]

Love and respect from an Iranian woman who enjoys your work and relates to a lot of what you say. I’m halfway through The forty roles of love. An absolute joy! I can’t put the book away, going through each paragraph two or three times. Thanks so much for opening my eyes to life & LOVE.

[@wanodyaazhaafiroh-zg6sh]

This is an awesome interview I have enjoyed very much and really and fully inspiring all. Thank you Elif

[@ozgekaraoglan3359]

Even after 4 years, her views on Turkey is still valid and unfortunately still very true . We as a society should work on improving our values as a country and understand to respect and learn from each other instead of being a judgmental community in which people are no longer able to express themselves freely. A country that does not put importance on individualistic creatism will be unable to evolve and remain out-dated for the years to come.

[@atreyeeday6650]

A wonderful interviewer Vivianne, so passionate, sharp and generous, as for the interviewed- I thank you, Elif, for your repeated reiteration for all the memory-keepers, the seed bearers, your dreams of inter-generational, multicultural sisterhood is the only way left- to step out of the shadows. Many artists and writers, even women, forget their debts to the silent sacrifices of those who helped them get where they are today. Every interview you keep your grandmother and mother's memories of when you were little, alive.

[@kseniyasbooknook4172]

Very thoughtful comment! I agree wholeheartedly

[@alfazmutazad2965]

Excellent interview by Elif Shafak and thumbs up to Viviane Reding for asking such excellent questions, Viviane Reding you have inspired me with your questioning skills

I love the way the interviewer Viviane Reding all drenched in the shafakian placenta pursues the enquiry.

[@pa7957]

I am in love with life , even more after reading Elif's booksssss ...Specially "40 rules of love" :)))))

[@RashmikaLikesBooks]

What a beautiful discussion with great questions and thought provoking subjects. This was a pleasure to listen to.

[@rethinking2023]

" we have to face our own mistakes : "we have to remembering first, only if I cant start remembering, I can‘t expect other people to start forgetting !!!!! Memory is a responsibility !!!!! çok Tesekkürler - {Viviane Reding "underline it ....it has to do with our world, not only a part of-because all based on the same roots"} thank you !

[@pa7957]

According to a user from Turkey, the name Elif is of Turkish origin and means "Beautiful girl who shining, Tall and thin girl, First letter of the Arabic Alphabet". ... According to a user from Turkey, the name Elif is of Arabic origin and means "Kind and emotional".

Bir Turk olarak Sizinle gurur duyuyorum

[@abdelqqq]

صاحبة رواية "قواعد العشق الأربعون" التي لم أقرأها بعد، والتي ينصح كل من قرأها من قبل بقراءتها.. امرأة أنيقة في الفكر وفي الجمال.. تحكي بسلاسة وتبدي فهما واسعا استيعابا كبيرا للعالم ولاختلافات البشر من كل جنس ولون.. العالم لا يحتاج لقهر أعدائه وظواهر التعصب والإرهاب والإقصاء الفكري والعنف الجسدي أكثر من رقة امرأة مثل إيلف شافاق.. وسيفلح قوم ولوا أمرهم امرأة من صنفها بقدر ما فشلت أقوام العربان والغربان يوم كان ولا زال على رأسها طغاة الارض من الذكور غير الرجال.. :)

Petra Hermans Well said!!

[@gunelmamedova2267]

but armenians don't have their own history to remember,they created it,decorated the situation and tried to confirm it to others

[@sirwanenayati7158]

Really? You say same things about Kurdish people as well . Do you really think Armenians , Kurds , Greek & all other people around you , they don’t have history & only you have it ?

[@JavedKhan-jp9zl]

Erdogan is a good Qaree of the Qur'an and a good Islamic leader

[@aysenur-xd1jy]

But TURKEY is NOT an islamic state. Turkey is purely secularist country. The country built by modern, laic and inspiring eternel leader MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATÜRK.

[@pixiesashes]

the oppressor needs to start remembering and taking responsibility for the damage they caused and oppressed need to start forgetting. However, it has to start with the oppressor remembering, taking responsibility so the oppressor can start healing and forgetting. elif shafak you are a genius! an inspiration.

[@pixiesashes]

@Jon michael you are a victim of your own stupidity.

[@pixiesashes]

I find it shocking this interviewer hasnt mentioned the name of the book ONCE! unprofessional.

[@deruchann]

I think she mentions the name very briefly; The bastard of Istanbul.

[@naimaahmed333]

Actually, she did

[@pixiesashes]

@@naimaahmed333 Yes, once where as she said your book or the book 100 times. Elif Shafak has many books. I think its more professional to mention the name more than once in a long meeting.

[@sirwanenayati7158]

She said , you didn’t hear . Name of this book is : The bastard of Istanbul
