Excavating Memory: Bilge Karasu's Istanbul and Walter Benjamin's Berlin

By Ülker Gökberk

This book brings the Turkish writer Bilge Karasu (1930-1995) into a new critical spotlight by examining the author's poetics of memory, as laid out in his narratives on Istanbul's Beyoğlu. G kberk contextualizes these posthumously published pieces in an approach informed by studies on memory, identity, place, and remembering as literary representation.
