İthaki Yayınları The Woman Left Behind

Product description

International booker prize finalist elias canetti national literature award french pen translation prize gulf coast translation prize "the woman left behind" is an unforgettable modern fairy tale.

”–2026 booker juryin a small world nestled among the mountains, where centuries-old rules remain unchanged, being born a woman is a destiny.

this fate is written in silence, obedience and invisibility. Bekià rejects this fate.

by her own will, she becomes an “ostaynitsa”, that is, she is born as a woman and chooses a man's identity. This choice promises freedom, but erases everything in its wake: your name, your body, your past.

now it has to live as another. This story, told through fragmented time, interrupted breaths, and silences, is not just a transformation, but an inner reckoning with the limits of being human. The echo of a life squeezed between tradition and freedom, body and identity, staying and leaving. Bekià's story unveils the common conflicts of both the ancient world and modern life on the axis of tradition, freedom, body, identity and belonging. The remaining woman, with the poetic yet harsh language of rene karabash, is a deep, disturbing, and hard-to-forget novel about identity, gender, and existence in the modern world. "there's a certain intensity in faulkner's work... it creates a striking atmosphere that oscillates between narrative and poetic approach, reminiscent of grand guignol at times."

”—david mehegan
