Lara, it is a great honour to me talk to somebody who knew Nazım Hikmet personally. We should exchange private emails on this. I am interested in any detail your would like to provide. After 13 years of imprisonment Nazım was released and the regime was planing to murder him by taking him to military service as they knew he was very sick and his heart would soon or later give up in Turkish army. His escape to Soviet Union saved him from this envisaged torture and murder. It is a bit different with Frantz Fanon. Like Nazım, he was very sick. He rejected to go to USA for medical treatment because of racist regime there. In many ways he was critical of Soviet Union but accepted to go and get medical treatment there. I do not know for how long he went there, I think for one year or so, but I know he was cured from his cancer at least for a while. We can exchange ideas on any subject at any time. I thank you very much for your warm words. ----- Dogan Göcmen (http://dogangocmen.wordpress.com/) Author of The Adam Smith Problem: Reconciling Human Nature and Society in The Theory of Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations, I.
