Istanbul by Orhan Pamuk — Book Review

<p>I recently finished reading&nbsp;<em>Istanbul</em>&nbsp;by&nbsp;<strong>Orhan Pamuk</strong>. I was captivated by the author&rsquo;s melancholy, his writing style evoked bittersweet emotions from the beginning until the end.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*ilbRqq1a_krfW4pE" style="height:467px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Photo by&nbsp;<a href="https://unsplash.com/@mertkahveci?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=referral" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Mert Kahveci</a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href="https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=referral" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Unsplash</a></p> <p><em>Istanbul</em>&nbsp;is a book that gathers memories, that Orhan has growing up in the historical Constantinople, from the day he has consciousness until the age of twenty-two. The author has lived in Istanbul during his entire life and he states that he is the type of artist that doesn&rsquo;t travel and explore to get inspiration, on the contrary, he needs to stay in one place and have a sense of familiarity to let his artistic side come out. I found this aspect particular, especially when we live in an era when people need to travel to rewind and find motivation.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/readers-digests/istanbul-by-orhan-pamuk-book-review-5898748f4bf3"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
