Make mine a signed copy. ?Not only familiar with it, but have it! As to Birds, it is not in my library, though I've got nine other books by Kemal. So, since the Australian copy is so cheap, I'll order a couple and forward one to you.
I've read three of his novels, the other being Seagull (which I recall enjoying), but I haven't read Kemal in years. Do you have a title you'd recommend? By the way, he is one of the authors I wrote to when I was in Japan. I received a letter back from his wife Thilda who has translated some of his books into English. By the way, one of my favorite films is "Once Upon a Time in Anatolia," by Turkish film director Nuri Bilge Ceylan. I appreciated being able to see the landscape that was the setting for so many Kemal books. I'm careful not to recommend that film as the last time I did so, my friend scolded me for having "wasted" three hours of his life watching it. The film was a little too slow for him.
