During his long career as poet, scholar, and translator, Talat Sait Halman has done more than any other single individual to promote knowledge of Turkish literature in the United States. Ibrahim the Mad and Other Plays, which he has edited with the able assistance of Jayne L. Warner, is the largest collection of Turkish plays ever published in English—by far exceeding even Halman’s earlier Modern Turkish Drama (1976; reprinted in 1983)—and it is only the first of two volumes, containing plays dating from 1940 to 1969. The second volume, I, Anatolia and Other Plays, due out later this year, will carry the panorama up to the end of the twentieth century.
