Kaya Genç talks Istanbul writing

January 9, 2016

Happy New Year!

First Turkey Book Talk pod of the year is with novelist Kaya Genç, the editor of “An Istanbul Anthology” (AUC Press), a new selection of classic writing on Istanbul by classic names including Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu.

Happily, I’ve finally picked up a decent mic so the podcasts should now be more listenable. Hooray!

Download the podcast.

Listen/subscribe via Podbean.

Here’s text of interview at the Hürriyet Daily News.

And here’s my review of the book.

    Good stuff. But I think it’s OUP, not AUC: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/an-istanbul-anthology-9789774167218

    Cheers, D
