Istanbul: Memories and the City is Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk’s memoir of growing up in Istanbul in the 1950s and 1960s, woven together with a portrait of the city itself. Pamuk describes his childhood in a large, slowly declining family, his early dreams of becoming a painter and his first love. He sets these memories against the faded grandeur of the former Ottoman capital and its shared melancholy, which he calls hüzün. Illustrated with many black-and-white photographs, the book will appeal to readers of literary memoir, lovers of Istanbul and anyone interested in Turkish culture and history.
