THE APPLICANT - NAZLI KOCA GEBUNDEN

· The Applicant is inspired by Nazlı Koca’s own life -- she was born and raised on the
Mediterranean coast of Turkey  spent years of her young adulthood in Berlin  and now lives in
the US. Nazlı brings a captivating new perspective to our often US-centric conversation around
immigration. · The Berlin setting of The Applicant is seedy  lively  cutting-edge  and
irresistible. · A literary and commercial deeply affecting debut at the cutting edge of
conversations around domestic work  immigration  and familial trauma  Koca’s debut deftly walks
the line between entertaining and enraging. · Nazlı Koca joins Elif Batuman  Ottessa Moshfegh 
Melissa Broder and Mona Awad as a contemporary young writer of dry humor and razor-sharp prose
that lays bare what it is to be a young woman making art under late-stage capitalism. · Nazlı
Koca has been compared to Sally Rooney by Elif Batuman for her startlingly intimate portraits
of young people who are critical of capitalism. PEN Faulkner Award winner Azareen Van der Vliet
Oloomi  whom Nazlı just interviewed in Bookforum  calls the book an unforgettable meditation on
sex  censorship  displacement  and loss.” · In Leyla  Nazlı Koca gives us a narrator as
unforgettable as the heroines of Sayaka Murata’s Convenience Store Woman  Ottessa Moshfegh’s My
Year of Rest and Relaxation  Pola Oloixarac’s Mona  and Sang Young Park’s Love in the Big City.
· The Applicant is a dynamic examination of privilege and power  as Leyla plummets from her
favored  protected status as a graduate student to a migrant worker scrubbing toilets  a shift
which deeply impacts her experience of Berlin. · Like Teju Cole’s celebrated debut Open City 
Elif Shafak’s The Island of Missing Trees  and Ayşegül Savaş’ Walking on the Ceiling  The
Applicant is an addictive meditation on immigrant identity and dislocation. · We’ve received a
great deal of foreign interest in The Applicant.
