Summary

A metaphorical love story that grapples with memory, storytelling, and vengeance in a time of war.

Wuf Summary

Wuf by Kemal Varol

Told through the voice of a canine narrator, Wuf is a surrealist wartime love story set in Turkey in the 1990s. The novel follows Mikasa, a street dog who recounts a tale of tragic wartime love at a kennel where he finds solace in storytelling and cigarettes. A book that took the Turkish literary world by storm, Kemal Varol's Wuf tackles universal themes of love and loss with both humor and pathos. Translated by PEN/Heim Award winner Dayla Rogers, the novel renders in English a one-of-a-kind love story with a narrator its readers won't soon forget.

Wuf Reviews

[Wuf] proves its author to be as strong an emerging talent as Elif Shafak or Orhan Pamuk were upon their anglophone debuts...Wuf is an excellent contribution to the literary consideration of war's many damages and will no doubt continue to be an important cultural referent for the Kurdish-Turkish conflict in the Turkish cultural imagination. I won't be surprised to see it on 2020's 'best of' lists. * World Literature Today *
