“On the Grotesque”–an İTEF 2013-İstanbul Tanpınar Edebiyat Festival panel

Panel: “On The Grotesque”
Nov. 1st (Friday) @ 19:15-20:15 @ KargArt

Panelists: Nicholaus Patnaude, Barbara Stok, Yiğit Bener; moderated by tba

Story telling can make use of the distortion and exaggeration of the form to present us everyday stories in a way that makes us feel pity, disgust and discomfort. Magnifying glass of the grotesque as a narrative strategy and style also serves the purpose of exorcising ghosts and demons whether they are of political oppression, of love found and lost or of the daily life of a young woman. Barbara Stok, winner of Stripschapprijs, Yiğit Bener, translator of “The Journey to the End of Night”, and Nicholaus Patnaude will discuss the materiality of the body in their works and ways of story telling that renders what is familiar, uncomfortably unfamiliar.

“Reality Bites!”–an İTEF 2013-İstanbul Tanpınar Edebiyat Festival panel

28 Oct

Hikmet Hükümenoğlu, Nicholas Patnaude, Teresa Präauer moderated by Feyza Howell

Reality; you can’t live with it you can’t live without it. There are many ways to imitate it, to represent it, to reflect it, to manipulate it – but are there ways to tame it? Literature is capable of doing many things to “reality” and some stories suggest “insanity” as a way of taming it. A good story often challenges the reader to experience an alternate reality, sometimes by opening a door to a parallel universe, other times by descending into the depths of horror or by teaching you how to fly away.
