description: Gallows humor is alive, well and flourishing in Turkey. The latest major work by the prominent satirist Aziz Nesin, a virtual unkown in Anglo-American literary circles but a writer who enjoys tremendous fame in parts of Europe and the Middle East, proves that a public hanging can be a viable form of satire directed aginst human foibles and social injustice.
