Now Erdal tells all in Ghosting: A Memoir (Canongate; 273 pages), a meditation on literary identity and a surprisingly generous love letter to the person who reaped praise and prestige from her labors while keeping her in salaried obscurity. (Discreetly, she refers to him only as "Tiger," after the lifelike tiger-skin rug that adorned his lavish Soho office.) In 1981, Tiger hired Erdal, then an editor and translator...
