Ali's grandma can't hear or see very well these days, and she
doesn't remember very much anymore. But Ali likes hanging out with
her. So when Ali's mom takes out a wooden trunk full of Grandma's
old photos, he sits with his grandmother, trying to figure out who
is in all the old pictures. At first, his grandma doesn't seem to
remember. But with a little help from Ali, she is soon sailing
through the photos-and taking Ali along with her through the
wondrous journey of her life. With daring, joy, and love, Ali's
grandma shows him the importance of making and sharing beautiful
memories that will live on in the ones we love. First published in
Turkey, this endearing picture book is a joyous celebration of
life, family, and love.

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.

look?
