His wife, the detective-novel-loving R�uya, has disappeared. Could she have left him for her ex-husband, Cel�al, a popular newspaper columnist? But Cel�al, too, seems to have vanished. As Galip investigates, he finds himself assuming the enviable Cel�al's identity, wearing his clothes, answering his phone calls, even writing his columns. Galip pursues every conceivable clue, but the nature of the mystery keeps changing, and when he receives a death threat, he begins to fear the worst. With its cascade of beguiling stories about Istanbul, The Black Book is a brilliantly unconventional mystery, and a provocative meditation on identity. For Turkish literary readers it is the cherished cult novel in which Orhan Pamuk found his original voice, but it has largely been neglected by English-language readers. Now, in Maureen Freely's beautiful new translation, they, too, may encounter all its riches.--Publisher description UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0646/2005058485-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0659/2005058485-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0661/2005058485-s.html ER -
