Gebundenes Buch

Excavating Memory

Bilge Karasu's Istanbul and Walter Benjamin's Berlin

Beschreibung

This book brings the Turkish writer Bilge Karasu (1930¿1995) into a new critical spotlight by examining the author¿s poetics of memory, as laid out in his narratives on Istanbul¿s Beyölu. Gökberk contextualizes these posthumously published pieces in an approach informed by studies on memory, identity, place, and remembering as literary representation.
