An experimental collection of proems from poet and author Leylâ Erbil, the first Turkish woman toever be nominated for the Nobel.
In this remarkable novel-in-verse, a young woman named Lahzen comes of age grappling with a culture gripped by interethnic tension. Bearing witness to the mutilation of a Kurdish journalist, the political imprisonment of her lover, and the violence of the man her widowed mother has taken up with, Lahzen reaches back into the past, searching for the root of this evil.
From the Byzantine Empire to the twentieth-century Turkey of Erbil's experience, What Remains searches urgently for a way to escape these recurrent cycles of suffering, while preserving hope in the smallest acts of kindness. Now available for the first time in translation, with an introduction by Ayten Tartici, What Remains is a fearless, deeply felt collection from one of the most influential Turkish writers in recent history.
