Book
A strangeness in my mind / Orhan Pamuk ; translated from the Turkish by Ekin Oklap.
Arriving in Istanbul as a boy, Mevlut Karate is enthralled by both the old city that is disappearing and the new one that is fast being built. He becomes a street vendor, like his father, hoping to strike it rich, but luck never seems to be on Mevlut's side. He spends three years writing love letters to a girl he has just seen once, only to elope by mistake with her sister. Although he grows to cherish his wife and the family they have together, Mevlut stumbles towards middle age as everyone around his seems to be reaping the benefits of a rapidly modernizing Turkey.
