![]() ![]() I find Woolf hard work and Joyce unreadable. I have always struggled with the most modernist of modernist literature. ![]() I am in many ways an inappropriate person to review this book. Like other modernists of the same time in Turkey including Yusuf Atilgan, the book focuses on the inner lives of its characters and the narratives are often presented as internal, phycological dramas. In Waiting for Fear, a man is trapped in his house by the fear of a secret society’s persecution in Neither Yes nor No a columnist responds to a strange personal letter, and in The Forgotten a woman makes a grisly discovery in her attic. The book is a collection of strange tales. However, a collection of his short stories has been compiled into a volume called Waiting For Fear. His most famous novel Tutunamayanlar was published in English a few years ago, but is quite hard to get hold of. Oguz Atay is one of Turkey’s pioneering modernist writers. ![]()
