"There are also good things happening in Turkey. A new name is now being added to the important presence of our female writers in the short story branch of our literature: Elif Yonat Toğay. Her book, "Everybody Like Everybody's As Much", is a fluent story that is thoroughly stripped of the language and expression weaknesses of being a first book. The stories, which are varied in terms of subjects, places and people, give place to hurtful sarcasm and end in a surprising way without any further ado. Human situations, colors, sections with a realistic but emotionally charged purity, formed by sharp observations. A sweet testament to the author's competence. There is no lack of sexuality either.”
