Translator's Note: Orhan Pamuk and the Dark Soul of Istanbul - Inana

Istanbul and Memories by Nobel Prize-Winning Author Orhan Pamuk
Istanbul, the black and white city that raised him to become a world-class writer.
The personal story of how he decided to become a writer unfolds intertwined with the city's history!

Orhan Pamuk, winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature, is better known worldwide as an "Istanbul writer" rather than a "Turkish writer."
Just as James Joyce brings to mind Dublin and Kafka brings to mind Prague, Orhan Pamuk is now naturally identified with Istanbul.
Not only was he born and raised in Istanbul, but most of the novels he has published so far have been set in Istanbul.
The Swedish Academy also explained the reason for the selection, saying, “In exploring the gloomy soul of his hometown, Istanbul, Pamuk discovered new symbols of the clash and complexity of cultures.”
If the novel "The Black Book" is a fictional text representing Orhan Pamuk's works set in Istanbul, then this book "Istanbul" can be said to be a realistic and unadorned text that directly reveals the author's impressions of Istanbul.


Istanbul is the abyss and core of Orhan Pamuk, he himself!

In "Istanbul," he calmly unfolds his personal history from birth and up until his decision to become a writer, along with the changing history of the city of Istanbul.
This book contains over 200 photographs of Istanbul and Orhan Pamuk's childhood, providing an in-depth look into the city and Pamuk.
The emotional instability, first love, family conflicts, sadness, and happiness experienced by an individual named Orhan Pamuk due to his parents' discord during his childhood are fantastically intertwined with the past, present, and history of Istanbul, unfolding before the readers' eyes like a mirage.
