Summary
"Sleeping in the Forest features twenty-five stories, an excerpt from a novella, and twelve poems rendered into English by some of the best-known translators of Turkish literature. Sait Faik's chairoscuro world is brought into focus by an introductory essay on the utopian poetics and lyrical stylistics of this great Turkish writer. The book is an exploration into Turkish mood and milieu."--BOOK JACKET.
