Description
Orhan Pamuk is a well-known Turkish writer, recipient of numerous national and international awards, including the Nobel Prize in Literature for “the search for the soul of his melancholy city.” His new novel, “My Strange Thoughts,” which he has been working on for the last six years, may be the most “Istanbul” of all his books. Its action spans more than forty years—from 1969 to 2012. The main character, Mevlut, works in the streets of Istanbul, observing how the streets fill with new people, how the city gains and loses new and old buildings, and how impoverished people come from Anatolia to earn a living. In his presence, coups happen, governments change, and Mevlut keeps wandering the streets, asking himself on winter evenings what distinguishes him from other people, why strange thoughts about everything in the world visit him—and who exactly his beloved is, the one he writes letters to for the last three years.
