Orhan Pamuk. The Black Book. A Novel

"The Black Book" is the fourth novel by the Turkish writer, who became a true revelation in the Western literary world in the early 1990s. Searching for his estranged wife, the novel's hero, Galip, wanders through Istanbul, a truly fantastical city, and each episode of this search weaves a new colorful pattern into the colorful fabric of the narrative, reminiscent of the Arabian Nights in its whimsicality.
