About The Sun King
By Uğur Özcan
“You may conspire in the dark, but everything eventually comes to light.”
The Sun King follows Jamie, a boy growing up in a developing country. Each summer, Jamie comes to the same spot on the same beach and speaks with a mysterious figure – the king of a magical realm far, far away.
Over time, their conversations begin to blur the lines between reality and fiction while Jamie watches his country and his identity change in ways he could not anticipate.
This queer, political coming-of-age fantasy combines a daring set, powerful writing, and a new perspective on all-too-familiar themes.
