Gerrit Wustmann has published a wonderful review of “Sankofa” on 54books.de. The deep connection between him and Doğan Akhanli can be seen in every line and is a tribute to a wonderful writer who left us far too soon. Thank you for this review, Gerrit.

We are very pleased about the positive review from Daniel from Mediennerd.de about “Sankofa”! When I picked up Sankofa by Doğan Akhanlı, I knew that a profound and emotionally charged work awaited me. Akhanlı's language is precise and forceful.
