Produktinformationen zu „A Strange Woman “
Klappentext zu „A Strange Woman “
A Strange Woman is the story of Nermin, a young woman who aspires to be an intellectual in an oppressive social environment. The four subsections of the novel, entitled, consecutively, "The Girl", the "The Father", "The Mother", and "The Woman", narrate the struggle and quasi-enlightenment of Nermin through the viewpoints of the main characters involved. This rebellious, avant-garde novel tackles sexuality, the unconscious, and psychoanalysis, all through the lens of a modernizing 20th-century Turkey.
Autoren-Porträt von Laylâ Erbil
One of the most influential Turkish writers of the 20th century, Leylâ Erbil was an innovative literary stylist who tackled issues at the heart of what it means to be human, in mind and body. A Strange Woman, first published in 1971, is considered the first feminist novel to come from a Turkish author. Erbil ventured where few writers dared to tread, turning her lens to the tides of social norms and the shaping of identities, getting down to the nitty gritty of emotional conflict, and plumbing the depths of history and psyche. In 2002 and 2004 Erbil was nominated as candidate for the Nobel Literature Prize by Turkey PEN. She died in Istanbul in 2013.
