Set between West Berlin, Istanbul and Tel Aviv, among others, Lovers of Franz K. is a literary mystery and a postumous tribute to the one and only Franz K. Published soon by Open Borders Press, an imprint of Orenda Books, it shows that indeed, even beautiful literature can lead to crime. As usually happens with any idea that it is invested an obsessive passion.
Until I will be able to present the book - happening soon, no worries - I am honored to be part of the special event of cover reveal of this book with such an unique, unusual topic.
On the top cover - that it is worth to mention includes the name of the translator together with the author´s - a sepia photograph of Kafka has collage-like add-ons that combine fragments of images with sketches details. It promises some unexpected take bringing Kafka´s personality into the everyday contemporary social and political relevance. Definitely, a catch for someone like me, often buying books for the beautiful covers.
Burhan Sönmez is a Turkey-born Kurdish novelist, currently the president of PEN International. Sami Hêzil is a translator and teacher of Kurdish language and literature from Northern Kurdistan.
