A rock burning bright on an August night. A full moon lights up the sky. I'm up on a mountainside, watching the natural flames shoot out of the rock. This is Chimera. I am at Cirali, a sleepy town in Mediterranean Turkey, yet suddenly I feel transported into the world of Orpheus, a Turkish novel that I helped translate into English a year earlier. Standing here, watching the flames dance, I am inside of the novel.
