Tülin Erkan

Tülin Erkan (1988) grew up in Ostend with a Francophone mother and an English-speaking grandmother. She spent her summers with her father in Turkey. When people describe her as half something, she mostly feels double. Her debut novel, Honingeter, evokes a tranquil atmosphere where mother tongue and homeland overlap until they collide. Turkish folklore and classical mythology merge into a strange, surreal tangle. She is currently developing her concept for a second novel at Watlab.
