This magnificent memoir interweaves the political and the personal: the history of Istanbul with the early years of its most famous living writer. Born in Istanbul in 1952, to a large, quarrelsome family which owned and lived in the Pamuk Apartments, the novelist Orhan Pamuk has never left: ‘I am attached to this city because it has made me who I am.’
