Prof. Papatya Bucak Publishes Essay, "Documented," in The Arkansas International

Congratulations to Prof. Papatya Bucak on publication of a new essay, "Documented" in the Spring 2023 issue of The Arkansas International.

An excerpt from "Documented":

It was the summer of 1964 when my mother, an American, met my father, a Turk, in a dancing class at International House in Philadelphia, where my father was living while attending the Wharton School. Which he later dropped out of.

"You couldn't resist me," my father says.

"You were late and you had to have everything explained to you all over again, and I didn't approve of your short sleeves," my mother says.

Still, I guess she couldn't resist him, because here we all are. My father, my mother, my brother, and me.
