HTML:<b>"Like Walter Benjamin, Aysegül Savas uncovers trapdoors to bewilderment everywhere in everyday life; like Henry James, she sees marriage as a mystery, unsoundably deep. <i>The Anthropologists</i> is mesmerizing; I felt I read it in a single breath." -Garth Greenwell<br /></b><br /> <b>"Savas is an author who simply, and astoundingly, knows." -Bryan Washington</b><br /> <b><br /></b>Asya and Manu are looking at apartments, envisioning their future in a foreign city. What should their life here look like? What rituals will structure their days? Whom can they consider family?<br /> As the young couple dreams about the possibilities of each new listing, Asya, a documentarian, gathers footage from the neighborhood like an anthropologist observing local customs. "Forget about daily life," chides her grandmother on the phone. "We named you for a whole continent and you're filming a park."<br /> Back in their home countries parents age, grandparents get sick, nieces and nephews grow up-all just slightly out of reach. But Asya and Manu's new world is growing, too, they hope. As they open the horizons of their lives, what and whom will they hold onto, and what will they need to release?<br /> Unfolding over a series of apartment viewings, late-night conversations, last rounds of drinks and lazy breakfasts, <i>The Anthropologists</i> is a soulful examination of homebuilding and modern love, written with Aysegül Savas' distinctive elegance, warmth, and humor.
