Istanbul: Memories and the City by Orhan Pamuk
3.0
FIRST LINE REVIEW: "From a very young age, I suspected there was more to my world than I could see: Somewhere in the streets of Istanbul, in a house resembling ours, there lived another Orhan so much like me that he could pass for my twin, even my double." And by wandering the streets of Istanbul and the memories they evoke, Orhan eventually finds that other Orhan, the one who will become a Nobel Prize-winning author. I read this book in preparation for my own wanderings of the Istanbullu streets next month. Now I feel ready to lose myself there and, perhaps, find another Ivan.
