‘Madonna in a Fur Coat’ by Sabahattin Ali, translated by Maureen Freely and Alexander Dawe (Penguin Modern Classics, 176 pages, £10)
It has taken a long time for Sabahattin Ali to be translated into English. Although he died almost 70 years ago, he is today one of the most popular authors in Turkey. Many Turkish readers are ambivalent about the local contemporary writers who are best known in the West – Orhan Pamuk, Elif Şafak, etc.
