Heart-Shaped Leaves:Aphorisms, Adaptations, Improvisations and Essays

"'Heart-Shaped Leaves' is a wry and witty collection of aphorisms and observations. It's a unique compilation, somewhat like W. H. Auden's 'Commonplace Book'..." David Damrosch Ernest Bernbaum Professor and Chair, Department of Comparative Literature Harvard University "This little book 'Heart-Shaped Leaves' is not an academic work but the work of a man who looks at literature with a loving eye. Prof. Khalilli's commentaries and thoughts, some profound some less so, demonstrate his love of literature. He has collected his thoughts over many years of study but has never before committed them to paper." Dr.F. Alexander Magill Ege University, Izmir.Turkey
