Like Walter Benjamin, Aysegl Savas uncovers trapdoors to bewilderment everywhere in everyday life; like Henry James, she sees marriage as a mystery, unsoundably deep. The Anthropologists is mesmerizing; I felt I read it in a single breath.' Garth GreenwellSavas is an author who simply, and astoundingly, knows. Bryan WashingtonAsya and Manu are looking at apartments, envisioning their future in a foreign city. What should their life here look like? Can they create their own traditions and rituals? Whom can they consider family?As the young couple dreams about the possibilities of each new listing, Asya, a documentarian, spends her days gathering footage from the neighborhood park like an anthropologist observing local customs. Forget about daily life, chides her grandmother on the phone. We named you for a whole continent and you're filming a park. Life back in Asya and Manu's respective home countries continuesparents age, grandparents get sick, nieces and nephews grow upall just slightly beyond their reach. But the world they're making in their new city is growing, too, they hope, into something that will be distinctly theirs. As they open up the horizons of their lives, what and whom will they hold onto, and what will they need to release?Hailed by Lauren Groff and Marina Abramovic, Savas's fine, precise craft turns The Anthropologist's simple apartment search into a soulful, often funny, examination of modern coupledom, homebuilding, and expat life in the universal modern city.
