ALTUN, SELCUK - Many and Many A Year AgoLondon, Telegram Books. 2009. (ISBN: 1846590671) Soft cover. Ill.: Trans.Clifford and Selhan Endres. Book, Kemal Kuray is lucky to escape with his life after his beloved F-16 hurtles to the ground in a test flight. Convalescence comes in the form of a comfortable monthly allowance and an opulent apartment in a mysterious neighborhood of Istanbul; inexplicably left to him by an acquaintance in the Air Force. But there s a price to pay. His Edgar Allen Poe-obsessed benefactor sets him on a wild goose chase from the back streets of Istanbul to the broad avenues of Buenos Aires, and finally to Poe s grave in Baltimore. But what exactly is Kemal searching for? Missing persons, yes, but there s more he is looking for the embodiment of Poe s most famous poem; Annabel Lee, to love and be loved. 270p. Near Fine.
