About this title

About the Author

Ilyas Halil was born in Southern Turkey, educated in economics and political science. Emigrated to Canada but spent most of his working life as a banker and investment counselor in Abu Dhabi on the Persian Gulf. His Turkish editor: "Ilyas Halil on one hand must be thought of as a noble and masterful writier who enlightens with his poetic style, on the other hand, with his feet firmly on the ground, he also gives unforgettable examples of social criticism and black humor."
