Elif Shafak
Date de naissance: 25. octobre 1971
Elif Şafak, ou Elif Shafak, née le 25 octobre 1971 à Strasbourg de parents turcs, est une écrivaine turque. Femme écrivain primée et best-seller en Turquie, Şafak écrit ses romans aussi bien en turc qu'en anglais. La critique note qu’elle mêle en permanence avec talent les traditions romanesques occidentale et orientale, donnant naissance à une œuvre à la fois « locale » et universelle. Féministe engagée, cosmopolite, humaniste et profondément imprégnée par le soufisme et la culture ottomane, Şafak défie ainsi par son écriture toute forme de bigoterie et de xénophobie.
