«Les oiseaux de bois» is the short story collection by Aslı Erdoğan, published by Actes Sud in hardcover (170 pages, in French).
A man who has lost his love leaves Istanbul and, by Lake Geneva, reviews his notebooks to reconstruct the story. Six almost naked women walk towards a torrent, a young schizophrenic interprets a medical summons, and a pregnant woman waits outside the prison reading censored letters. Stories that move between reality and reverie and that engage with contemporary Turkey.
Translation from Turkish by Jean Descat. Includes 170 pages.
For readers of contemporary fiction seeking poetic prose and a critical view of Turkish society.
Aslı Erdoğan is a prize-winning Turkish writer, author, human rights activist, and columnist for Özgür Gündem and formerly for Radikal, ex political prisoner, particle physicist. Her second novel has been published in English, and eight books translated into twenty languages.
