Veteran translator and author Erdal has written three previous books (including two novels) as well as hundreds of newspaper columns in Britain. If you haven't heard of her, well, that's because none of these works were under her own name. 'Ghosting' documents her 15-year career as a secret ghostwriter for a well-known British publisher (here code-named "Tiger").

The author analyzes her writing and the interplay of writing and living in a very astute way. she uses this diffcult situation that she somehow tolerated for far too long, to learn some important ideas.
katie b gave it a10:
Terrific book, beautifully written, sad, funny and thought-provoking. You can tell she's a translator - she cares about language - and she is also concerned with things beneath the surface. She describes a world of smoke and mirrors and explores our notions of appearance & reality. Great stuff.
jonnie c gave it a10:
Fantastic read. Funny, profound, poignant & quirky.
anne h gave it a10:
This is a truly wonderful book, full of insight and erudition (worn lightly). Erdal is a real writer and tells her story with quiet comedy and a complete lack of bitterness. There is much more to it than the story of a ghostwriter: Erdal has a novelist's eye and allows the reader to respect her characters. She tells a very moving tale.
