I'll do my best to help you find more information in English, maybe even in Turkish though I don't read or write it. <br /> You are correct - all these stories you listed are from Haytov's famous "Wild Tales" collection.<br /> I'm on the road right now and unfortunately cannot write more (nor will I have an Internet connection for the next few weeks). I promise when I return to my computer to contact you again. My email is mpenkov [AT] gmail [DOT] com. Please, send me a message there so I can see yours and contact you personally.<br /> Best wishes,<br /><br /> MiroMiroslav Penkovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208641260756851505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128542699196055052.post-74603500542771970782010-06-18T16:07:44.437-05:002010-06-18T16:07:44.437-05:00Hi,
We are a couple of friends reading short stor...Hi,<br /><br />We are a couple of friends reading short stories and discussing them in Turkish. One of us suggested reading the short stories of Nikolay Haytov and then we started to gather information about him as much as we could. But apart from the book we had in hand (which is the only Haytov translation in Turkish) we could only find the Wikipedia article (and a few Bulgarian sources that we couldn't make use of :) ). Your blog was the only other source I could reach and I've been planning to contact you since I came across your post about him.<br /><br />I'm writing to ask for some help about his works. Any help would be appreciated.<br /><br />The book we have is named "Dünya Poturunu Çıkarıyor" in Turkish, I would translate it as "The World is Taking Their Pants off". I suspect this collection of stories are a part of the famous <i>Wild Tales</i>. The stories in it are (I'm translating their names from Turkish to English): "The World is Taking Their Pants off", "Ibram Ali", "The Bear Man", "The Seed of Dervish", "Path Maker", "The Barrel", "Conscience", "Male Times", "Black Chicken", "Fear", "The Spirit of the Forest", "Whistle of the Train", "The Wedding" and "Curiosity". I would be glad if you could comment on the possible sources of these short stories.<br /><br />And if you could advise any resources about his short stories that could really be of a lot of help for our workshop.<br /><br />If you are interested in our forum you could visit http://uzunhikaye.org (all in Turkish).<br /><br />Thanks in advance.erenhttp://www.uzunhikaye.org/forum/index.phpnoreply@blogger.com
