A life in a city.(Istanbul: Memories of a City)(Book Review)
Istanbul: Memories of a City, by Orhan Pamuk; Faber & Faber, 2005, $45.
ISTANBUL: MEMORIES OF A CITY is a deceptively simple title for a complex book. The memories of a distinguished Turkish novelist with an international reputation, Orhan Pamuk, are varied, even contradictory--a series of dissolving scenes. For the memories are not simply his own, extending over some fifty years of experiencing a city he has never left (and, one feels, cannot ever leave); his memories are filtered through a personal temperament, but also through the last 200 years of representations of the city in art, mainly writing, by insiders and outsiders alike.
