The Garden of Departed Cats

More Praise…

“Fascinating ... [The Garden of Departed Cats] is an illuminating transitional work between the work of Turkey's romantic realist Yashar Kemal and contemporary postmodernist Orhan Pamuk. Very much the best book of Karasu's to have appeared in English translation (a splendidly lyrical one, incidentally). More please.”

"I asked Ezra Pound for 'career advice,'" James Laughlin recalled. "He had been seeing my poems for months and had ruled them hopeless. He urged me to finish Harvard and then do 'something' useful."
