Orhan Pamuk was born in Istanbul and still lives in the family
apartment building where his mother first held him in her arms.
His portrait of his city is thus also a self-portrait, refracted
by memory and the melancholy--orhüzün
hüzün--that all
--that allIstanbullus
Istanbullus share: the sadness that comes of living amid
the ruins of a lost empire. With cinematic fluidity, Pamuk moves
from the lives of his glamorous, unhappy parents to the gorgeous,
decrepit mansions overlooking the Bosphorus; from the dawning of

Joyce's Dublin and Borges' Buenos Aires, Pamuk's Istanbul is a
triumphant encounter of place and sensibility, beautifully
written and immensely moving.
