Turkish-born, Paris-based writer Ayşeg&uuml;l Savaş&rsquo;s third novel opens with a young, ex-pat couple who are apartment hunting. Both foreigners in the city they live in and unburdened from the usual familial obligations, their days are marked by small pleasures: shopping at a local flea market, drinking coffee together before work, and taking long walks in the park. Like so much of Ayşeg&uuml;l&rsquo;s writing, The Anthropologists is interested not just in foreignness, but what it means to establish traditions and rituals when you are starting anew. This week, Michael chats with Ayşeg&uuml;l about this latest novel and why she is trying to make foreignness the status quo. &nbsp; Reading list: Walking on the Ceiling, Ayşeg&uuml;l Savaş, 2019 White on White, Ayşeg&uuml;l Savaş, 2021 The Anthropologists, Ayşeg&uuml;l Savaş, 2024 The Wilderness, Ayşeg&uuml;l Savaş 2024 &nbsp; The Confidence Woman, Sophie Quick, 2025 &nbsp; You can find these books and all the others we mentioned at your favourite independent book store.&nbsp; &nbsp; Socials: Stay in touch with Read This on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/themonthlymagazine/?hl=en">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/THEMONTHLY">Twitter</a> Guest: Ayşeg&uuml;l SavaşSee <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
