  E. Khayyat’s Istanbul 1940 and Global Modernity focuses on three authors, Erich Auerbach (1892–1957),
  Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar (1901–1962), and Halide Edib (1884–1964), who all taught at Istanbul University
  in the 1940s. Khayyat demonstrates that their works provide “three different yet analogous accounts of
  the one and the same world historical moment drafted at the same time, in the same place” (p. xii). By
