"A cross between a history manual and private memoir, A Strangeness in My Mind is above all a love letter to Istanbul in all its faded, messy, dusty glory." - The Gurdian At the age of twelve, Mevlut Karata comes to Istanbul, hoping to make it rich--yet luck never seems to be on his side. He spends three years writing love letters to a girl he saw just once at a wedding, only to elope by mistake with her sister. And though he grows to cherish his wife and the family they have, he stumbles toward middle age in a series of jobs leading nowhere. But every evening, without fail, Mevlut still wanders the streets of Istanbul, until fortune conspires once more to let him understand at last what he has always yearned for. Told from different perspectives by a host of beguiling characters, A Strangeness in My Mind is a modern epic about coming of age in a great city, and a brilliant tableau of life in Istanbul over the past fifty years, from Nobel Prize-winning, bestselling author Orhan Pamuk.
