Nazli Eray
The Black Rose of Halfeti
Trans. Robert Finn
Center for Middle Eastern Studies, UT Austin
Bouncing between three cities in Turkey, The Black Rose of Halfeti is the story of a woman searching to understand the life of the elderly doctor combating the beginnings of dementia who has just professed his love to her. Treading the line between the real and the imagined, Nazli Eray's grasp of magical realism paints her country in a way that brings readers face to face with the reality of their own mortality.
