A Useless Man: Selected Stories,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
With all the wit and brilliance of Chekhov, a distinctive collection of lyrical stories from Sait Faik Abasiyanik, Turkeys greatest short story writer (The Guardian)Sait Faik Abasiyaniks fiction traces the interior lives of strangers in his native Istanbul: ancient coffeehouse proprietors, priests, dreamaddled fishermen, poets of the Princes Isles, lovers and wandering minstrels of another time. The stories in A Useless Man are shaped by Sait Faiks 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 Republics restrictions on language and culture, but Abasiyaniks 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 Faiks stories in English to date.
