Why Chosen
This is a novel that deeply affected me, centered around the memories of a professor who returned to Istanbul first from Germany and years later from America. Zülfü Livaneli, one of Turkey's most precious writers, lifted the veil on hidden experiences so powerfully that I remember reading it in one night, crying as I went through it.
