The pioneering debut novel by one of Turkey's most radical authors,
originally published in the 1970s, tells the story of an aspiring
intellectual in a complex, modernizing country. Erbil's
groundbreaking coming-of-age novel, nominated for the Nobel upon
original release, follows a young woman and aspiring poet in
Turkey. Nermin frequents Istanbul's coffeehouses and underground
readings, but is torn between the creative, anarchist youth culture
of Turkey's capital and her parents, members of the old cultural
guard who are wary of Nermin's turn toward secularism. In four
parts, A Strange Woman narrates the past and present of a
complicated Turkish family through the eyes of each of its members.
This rebellious, avant-garde novel tackles sexuality, psychology,
and history through the lens of a modernizing 20th-century Turkey.
Deep Vellum brings this long-awaited translation of the debut novel
by a trailblazing feminist voice to US readers.
