When "The Bastard of Istanbul" was published in Turkey, Elif Shafak
was accused by nationalist lawyers of insulting Turkish identity.
The charges were later dropped, and now readers in America can
discover for themselves this bold and powerful tale. Populated with
vibrant characters, "The Bastard of Istanbul" is the story of two
families, one Turkish and one Armenian American, and their struggle
to forge their unique identities against the backdrop of Turkeyas
violent history. Filled with humor and understanding, this
exuberant, dramatic novel is about memory and forgetting, about the
tension between the need to examine the past and the desire to
erase it.
