Requests:  0 Summary:  "Since his boyhood in a poor village in Central Anatolia, Mevlut Karataş has fantasized about what his life would become. Not getting as far in school as he'd hoped, at the age of twelve he comes to Istanbul--"the center of the world"--and is immediately enthralled by both the old city that is disappearing and the new one that is fast being built. He follows his father's trade, selling boza (a traditional mildly alcoholic Turkish drink) on the street, and hoping to become rich, like other villagers who have settled the desolate hills outside the booming metropolis. But luck never seems to be on Mevlut's side. As he watches his relations settle down and make their fortunes, 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. His sense of missing something leads him sometimes to the politics of his friends and intermittently to the teachings of a charismatic religious guide. But every evening, without fail, Mevlut still wanders the streets of Istanbul, selling boza and wondering at the "strangeness" of his mind, the sensation that makes him feel different from everyone else, until fortune conspires once more to let him understand at last what it is he has always yearned for."--Jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Pamuk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Pamuk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Adult Fiction Pamuk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Pamuk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Pamuk Missing Inventory Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Pamuk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction PAMUK Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Pamuk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Fiction Pamuk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Fiction Pamuk Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
