Description
Lawyer-writer Abdurrahim Dede, in his poignant novel “Kana Kan: Kızılderililerin Soykırım İntikamı” (Blood for Blood: The Genocide Revenge of the Native Americans), weaves a deeply emotional tale spanning from the art studios of Istanbul to the Native American reservations of America. The story unfolds around Nevin Hoca, an aging painter, and a forgotten anthropological discovery: the silent, historical revenge of the Native Americans. According to the novel’s premise, following the brutal genocide by colonizers, the Native Americans gave the world the tomato—representing their spilled blood—and the potato, representing their buried flesh, ensuring that the world would unknowingly consume their history every day. Following the trail of Nevin Hoca’s lost love, an anthropologist named Ahmet, the narrator embarks on a journey of discovery, unearthing old letters, hidden grief, and the profound philosophy of responding to evil with kindness. Blending the tragic history of a genocide with a fifty-year-old love story, and even drawing surprising parallels to Barış Manço’s famous songs, this work invites the reader to taste the deep, melancholic truth hidden in the simplest details of daily life.
