"Istanbul: Memories and the City" is a sensory journey through the grandiose and the intimate alleyways of Istanbul, navigated by Orhan Pamuk, a writer deeply rooted in its cobblestones and caressed by its hüzün, that collective melancholy of its people. His narratives are both a mirror to his upbringing and a tapestry of the city's historical grandeur and its modern-day struggles, offering a rich, textured understanding of place through one's life experiences. Pamuk's memoir blurs the line between a city biography and a personal retrospective, giving you an affectionate, nuanced portrait no ordinary guidebook could deliver.
