Description

Winner of the EBRD Literature Prize 2018. Istanbul is a city of a million cells, and every cell is an Istanbul unto itself.After a military coup, four prisoners - the doctor, Demirtay the student, Kamo the barber and Uncle Kuheylan - sit below the ancient streets of Istanbul awaiting their turn at the hands of their wardens.

Between violent interrogations, the condemned share parables and riddles about their beloved city to pass the time.

From their retelling of stories, both real and imagined, emerges a picture of a city that is many things to many different people.

Their fears and laughter show us that there is as much hope and suffering in the city above as there is in the cells below.

Istanbul, Istanbul is a poignant and uplifting novel about the power of human imagination in the face of adversity.
