About the Author:
“The time has come to tell you what happened.”
From the opening pages of Ahmet Altan’s remarkable novel, you are drawn by its enigmatic narrator into a murder mystery that will have you guessing until its final pages. Superbly translated by Alexander Dawe, this detective story turned on its head is provocative, funny, playful and wise—a book that is as erotic as it is gripping.
Already published to great acclaim in Altan’s native Turkey, Endgame introduces a major international writer to readers in the English-speaking world. Reminiscent of the fiction of Calvino, Fitzgerald and Fowles, this is a novel of startling originality that tackles serious ideas with a delightful lightness of touch. And it is a reading experience that you are unlikely to ever forget.
Ahmet Altan is one of Turkey's most significant authors and journalists. His first novel, Four Seasons of Autumn, published when he was 27, won the Grand Award of the Akademi Publishing House. His second, Trace on the Water, was banned for obscenity. Dangerous Tales, 1996, became a bestseller and sold more than 200,000 copies. His novels have been translated into many languages. In 2016, Ahmet and his brother Mehmet were arrested as part of a wave of arrests of journalists and writers following the coup attempt in Turkey. In 2018, they were sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for their alleged involvement in the coup. The verdict has been widely condemned by human rights groups and journalists worldwide. Alexander Dawe was born in New York and now lives and works in Istanbul. He received a PEN translation fund to translate the collected short stories of Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar. He worked with Maureen Freely on a new translation of Tanpinar's novel The Time Regulation Institute (published by Penguin in the US).

The question is, who did he kill?Led by a deeply untrustworthy narrator, Ahmet Altan's international bestseller pulls us into a world of desire, ambition and death. A detective story turned on its head, Endgame is sensual, compelling and laced with a dreamlike logic reminiscent of Paul Auster. Endgame heralds Ahmet Altan as one of the most exciting literary voices to have emerged in years. An existential page-turner from one of Turkey's greatest novelists.
