The Case of Cem is one of ten finalists for Republic of Consciousness Prize, as selected by a jury of independent booksellers. "A brilliant and polyphonic novel in which each chapter offers a new point of view, adds a new dimension. A story told through the voices of the living and the dead. A novel that today sounds very topical in the context of contemporary writing and the European East." -- Georgi Gospodinov, Author of Time Shelter , winner of the International Booker Prize 2023 "For reminding me how wild the novel form can be: dear publishers, translate more experimental Communist-era women writers, please!"-- Kevin Brazil's list of Best Books of 2024, Granta " The Case of Cem narrates a nuanced vision of history along with a queer sub-plot that managed to bypass ideological censorship . . . Despite its historical specificity, The Case of Cem is ever more relevant today, when fundamental questions of global mobility remain unanswered on the backdrop of mass displacement, refugee crises, political exile, migrant hardships, and contested borders and territories." -- Stiliana Milkova Rousseva, "With a sense of portent nigh on apocryphal, Mutafchieva's novel is in fact a story of the internal other: the stranger within, against whom we base our own self-image. . . . Mutafchieva is comparing Cem to that great other of Europe: the Balkans. In her telling, the Balkans are everything that Western Europe is not." -- Full Stop, "A brilliant and polyphonic novel in which each chapter offers a new point of view, adds a new dimension. A story told through the voices of the living and the dead. A novel that today sounds very topical in the context of contemporary writing and the European East." -- Georgi Gospodinov, Author of Time Shelter , winner of the International Booker Prize 2023, "A beefy historical fiction told in individual testimony so it reads like an oral history. . . . inherently exploring how history is always a story." -- Josh Cook, Author of The Art of Libromancy and Porter Square Books co-owner and bookseller, "With a sense of portent nigh on apocryphal, Mutafchieva's novel is in fact a story of the internal other: the stranger within, against whom we base our own self-image. . . . Mutafchieva is comparing Cem to that great other of Europe: the Balkans. In her telling, the Balkans are everything that Western Europe is not." -- https://www.full-stop.net, "[W]e see that the straightforward story of rebellion we thought we were reading is in fact going to be a much subtler and more somber meditation on what happens when an individual is unlucky enough to get caught up in the dehumanizing operations of History." --https://lareviewofbooks.org, " The Case of Cem is a daring blend of court intrigue, tragedy, and historical fact that masterfully captures complex layers of history in its prose and reads like an epic. Just as prevalently, though, it is a reflection on memory, identity, homeland, and what it means to lose them."-- Asymptote Journal, "A brilliant and polyphonic novel in which each chapter offers a new point of view, adds a new dimension. A story told through the voices of the living and the dead. A novel that today sounds very topical in the context of contemporary writing and the European East." --Georgi Gospodinov, Author of Time Shelter , winner of the International Booker Prize 2023, The Case of Cem is one of ten finalists for Republic of Consciousness Prize, as selected by a jury of independent booksellers.

Synopsis
It's 1481, and as seen from the centers of power in Rome and Venice, the cultures of Europe are under threat from the expansion of the Ottoman Empire. When the exalted Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror dies his eldest son, Bayezid, takes the throne. However, discontented factions within the Ottoman army urge Mehmed's second son, Cem, a well-educated and experienced warrior, to oppose his brother's ascension, setting off a ruthless power struggle and forcing Cem into long years of exile, a pawn for European powers that are struggling to maintain the order they have imposed on the continent over the course of centuries. The Case of Cem, Vera Mutafchieva's sprawling novel of court intrigue, maintains lasting resonance for being a personal exploration of emigration and loss as told through the historical era during which the politics of the East and West were sketched out with utter clarity. These early lines of demarcation, as voiced through Christian and Muslim emissaries, power hungry rulers, unflinching warriors, and poets, have indelibly influenced the word as we know it today.
