Under a Crescent Moon by Daniel De Souza
Written in jail, Under a Crescent Moon presents characters and situations as varied as life outside prison. Here the famous and infamous, Turk and foreigner, mass-murderer and petty crook rub shoulders and in some strange, if improbable way, get on. Readers expecting a book-of-the-film Midnight will be disappointed, for the author?s vision of a country, a jail and its inmates is both heartfelt and richly empathetic. In this, his first published work, Daniel de Souza experiences and transcends prison life - his voice is rich and original.
?Danny de Souza?s experience in a Turkish prison hit me hard: I first read some of these stories while he was still incarceratedWhat was heartening then, and is more so now he is free and entitled to bitterness, was his ability to make the reader feel that he would survive. Here, he recreates some of the extraordinary people who became his jailers, and unbelievably allows us to form an empathy with them? Pete Townshend ?The prisoners of this darkness pull us into their dramas, their nightmares. They all seem familiar to us. As we become imprisoned and fascinated by Daniel de Souza?s desperate, private world, the spare beauty of the writing makes us recognize makes us recognize a new talent? Bernard Kops
Daniel de Souza was born in a refugee camp in WIltshire in 1945. He grew up in London and in 1975 was arrested attempting to smuggle dope into Turkey. He served twelve years of his life sentence in jails in Istanbul, Antakya and Izmir.
