Thank you very much, Bookworm_Girl!

I was thinking in this direction already, if "The White Castle" was not only a historical fiction but covering contemporary subjects. But it was more a vague idea, because I don't know too much about recent Turkish policy to find the parallels and how much censoring was going on there.
