Thanks to chicaintcheap I saw this video where one of my favourite Turkish writers, Elif Şafak (Shafak) gave the most inspiring talk about writing and going beyond borders and cultures with stories.

It's a ~20 minute long speech, but I guarantee that you will want more when it ends. Please watch, especially if you write.

You can go ahead and download the video from the main page as well: http://www.ted.com/talks/elif_shafak_the_politics_of_fiction.html
