Author Biography
Sait Faik's career marked a pivotal moment in Turkish culture in the 1930s and 40s when the secular, post-Ottoman sensibility placed new demands on the writing of literature. Born in Adapazari in 1906, Sait Faik is regarded by Turkish critics and readers as their finest short story writer - a Turkish Chekhov.
Alex Dawe has translated Tanpinar's The Time Regulation Institute, for which he won a PEN/Heim Translation Fund Grant.
