Yiğit Karaahmet was born in the small Black Sea town of Giresun, at a time when disco, glitter, and shoulder pads were sadly on the wane. He later moved to Istanbul where he studied journalism and went on to write about nightlife, popular culture, and lifestyle for prominent newspapers and magazines. Openly gay, Karaahmet has been targeted by the fundamentalist press many times. Summerhouse is his first novel. Nicholas Glastonbury is a writer, translator, and editor from the Florida backwaters. His translations of Turkish and Kurdish fiction and poetry have appeared with or are forthcoming from Tilted Axis Press, Comma Press, Soho Press, Sandorf Passage, Nightboat Books, and elsewhere. He holds a PhD in cultural anthropology and lives in New York.
Praise for Summerhouse “With flair, Summerhouse skewers the supposed safety of the closet and the faux tolerance of wealthy Turkish society, serving up a pair of elder-queer antiheroes whose passions are as ungovernable as their taste is exquisite. I loved this bleakly funny thriller!” —Katharine Beutner, Lambda Award–nominated author of Killingly
