About Elif Shafak
Elif Shafak is a Turkish writer
and the best-selling female novelist in Turkey. She has published novels written in Turkish
as well as English. Her work has been
translated into more than thirty languages around the world. Shafak’s work blends Western and Eastern
traditions of storytelling to generate a fiction that is both local and
universal. Her work draws on diverse cultures and literary traditions, as well
as deep interest in history, philosophy and oral culture. Shafak’s writing has
been defiant of bigotry and xenophobia, deeply involved in feminism,
Sufism, individualism and Ottoman culture, with ‘a particular genius for
depicting backstreet Istanbul’.
