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 \u003ci\u003eWÛf\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Ctr for Middle Eastern Studies UT-Austin","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52590957232408,"sku":"9781477319482","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/wuf-paperback-softback-9781477319482","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
