The Time Regulation Institute | Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar

Pickpick

In this excellent Turkish novel, Hayri Irdal, the main character, decides to write his memoirs to explain how the Time Regulation Institute came to exist.
In this satiric book, we feel for Hayri Irdal, we understand him when he's faced with an absurd system. We laugh at his predicaments, but we come to wonder how absurd our actual world is...
If you're not afraid to dive into an absurd world, this book is for you ;)

It‘s almost “time” for #readathon! 😉 (@penguinclassics cleverly wrapped Tanpindar‘s The Time Regulation Institute with this little dust jacket...which has a cutout to the bane of all booksellers everywhere.) #30daysofreadathon @deweysreadathon
