Valor: Stories

0/5 ( ratings)

Winner of the 2021 Global Humanities Translation Prize

Among Murathan Mungan’s signature works, Cenk Hikâyeleri has long been considered a milestone of twentieth-century Turkish literature. The six short stories in the collection reflect the author’s multiethnic background and represent his lush poetics, literary breadth, and sociopolitical commitments.

Valor reimagines Shahmaran, a mythical half‑human, half‑snake figure that commonly appears in the folklore of Turkey’s southeastern provinces. Legend interweaves with the contemporary realities of ethnicity, religious dogma, gender, and sexuality. Uncovering hidden narratives within a rich and complicated culture, Mungan’s stories depict self-realization and sexual awakening as they showcase one of Turkey’s most popular literary voices.
