I am writing to you as Şenol Onay, an established Turkish author with seven published novels, seeking a publisher for the English translation of my satirical novel, **HORGENERAL**.
My work is characterized by its sharp wit and humorous exploration of societal themes. Horgeneral, my autobiographical novel written in the first person, offers a universally engaging, albeit critical, perspective on Turkish society. The title itself, a humorous play on the highest military rank ("Orgeneral"), immediately signals the satirical tone. This book, while fictionalized, is built upon a foundation of gripping real-life anecdotes, ensuring it is both highly entertaining and thought-provoking.
My previous novels have garnered significant reader appreciation in Turkey, particularly for their comedic elements and engaging narratives. For instance, my second novel, *Gazi ile Niyaziler*, a madcap adventure of twin brothers swapping lives, was described by readers as a "riot of laughter." Similarly, *Errorist*, which follows a cunning swindler and his gang of eccentrics, reportedly had readers "falling on the floor laughing." My books feature distinctive, cartoon-style covers, which I've designed and had illustrated by renowned cartoonists.
I am confident that Horgeneral, like my other works, possesses strong international appeal and commercial potential within the satirical fiction genre. I believe its unique blend of humor, social commentary, and captivating storytelling will resonate with your readership.
The complete English manuscript of Horgeneral is available for your review. I would be delighted to send it, or any of my other translated works, for your consideration.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Şenol Onay
