About the Book: The Black Book
As he investigates the mysterious disappearance of his wife and a popular
newspaper columnist, Celâl, Galip finds himself assuming the enviable Celâls
identity, wearing his clothes, answering his phone calls, even writing his
columns. With its cascade of beguiling stories about Istanbul, The Black Book is
a brilliantly unconventional mystery, and a provocative meditation on identity.
