ISTANBUL: MEMORIES AND THE CITY -- 1
BY ORHAN PAMUK
From
a very young age, I suspected there was more to my world than I could see:
Somewhere in the streets of Istanbul, in a house resembling ours, there lived
another Orhan so much like me that he could pass for my twin, even my double.
I
can’t remember where I got this idea or how it came to me.
It must have emerged
from a web of rumors, misunderstandings, illusions, and fears.
But in one of my
earliest memories, it is already clear how I’ve come to feel about my ghostly
other.
