Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. These stories are in turn realistic and surreal, romantic and modern, ironic and compassionate. With virtuosic skill and an empathetic imagination, Sait Faik captures the spirit and spleen of Istanbul and its environs.With all the wit and brilliance of Chekhov, a distinctive collection of lyrical stories from Sait Faik Abasiyanik, "Turkey's greatest short story writer" (The Guardian)Sait Faik Abasiyanik's fiction traces the interior lives of strangers in his native Istanbul- ancient coffeehouse proprietors, priests, dream-addled fishermen, poets of the Princes' Isles, lovers and wandering minstrels of another time. The stories in A Useless Man are shaped by Sait Faik's political autobiography - his resistance to social convention, the relentless pace of westernization, and the ethnic cleansing of his city - as he conjures the varied textures of life in Istanbul and its surrounding islands. The calm surface of these stories might seem to signal deference to the new Republic's restrictions on language and culture, but Abasiyanik's prose is crafted deceptively, with dark, subversive undercurrents. "Reading these stories by Sait Faik feels like finding the secret doors inside of poems," Rivka Galchen wrote. Beautifully translated by Maureen Freely and Alexander Dawe, A Useless Man is the most comprehensive collection of Sait Faik's stories in English to date. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. Sait Faik may well be named "the Turkish Chekhov". In Turkey, critics and readers regard him as their finest short story writer. Since his death in 1954 at the age of forty-eight, his stature has grown on the strength of his narrative art, which is both realistic and whimsical with a poetic touch. Suha Oguzertem, a premier authority on Turkish fiction, writes in his introduction to Sleeping in the Forest that "As an anti-bourgeois writer and fierce democrat, Sait Faik has always sided with the underdog" and that no characters remain " 'common' or 'ordinary' once they enter Sait Faik's stories; his piercing gaze and thoughtful vision transform them lovingly into unique beings." Sait Faik's fiction ranges from the realistic to the surrealistic, from the romantic to the modern, from the cynical to the compassionate. With virtuosic skill, he captures the spirit and the spleen of the city of Istanbul and its environs. In evoking the mystery of that great metropolis through such ordinary characters as Armenian fishermen, Greek Orthodox priests, and the disillusioned and disfranchised, he creates for us a marvelous microcosm of tragicomedy. Few writers, in Turkey or elsewhere, command Sait Faik's mastery of the ironic. Sleeping in the Forest features twenty-two stories, an excerpt from a novella, and fifteen poems rendered into English by some of the best-known translators of Turkish literature. Sait Faik's chiaroscuro world is brought into focus by an introductory essay on utopian poetics and lyrical stylistics of this great Turkish writer. The book is a stimulating exploration into Turkish mood and milieu.
