The Happy Reader

Issue 16

With sonic trailblazer Moses Sumney on the cover photographed by Kennedi Carter in Asheville, North Carolina, where he lives.

Featuring the Book of the Season: Sabahattin Ali’s breathtaking romance, MADONNA IN A FUR COAT. Published to indifference in the early ‘40s it’s become one of the biggest literary blockbusters in Turkey in recent years — and the issue looks at how and why it went from underground legend to mass-market hit.

Contributors include: Elif Shafak, Julie Verhoeven, Liz Johnson Artur, Rob Doyle, Richard Godwin, and Kaya Genç.

The Happy Reader is "a bookish magazine about reading."
