What is The Black Book : A Novel about?

<p><i>The Black Book</i> is a stunning tapestry of Middle Eastern and Islamic culture which confirms Orhan Pamuk's reputation as a writer of international stature, comparable to Borges and Calvino. <br><br>Galip is an Istanbul lawyer, and his wife, Ruya, has vanished. Could she be hiding out with her half brother, Jelal, a newspaper columnist whose fame Galip envies? And if so, why isn't anyone in Jelal's flat? <br><br>As Galip plays the part of private investigator, he assumes the identity of Jelal himself, wearing his clothes, answering his phone calls, even faking his wry columns, which he passes off as the work of the missing journalist. But the amateur sleuth bungles his undercover operation, and with dire consequences.<br><br>Richly atmospheric and Rabelaisian in scope, <i>The Black Book</i> is a labyrinthine novel suffused with the sights, sounds, and scents of Istanbul. An unforgettable evocation of the city where East meets West, <i>The Black Book</i> is a boldly unconventional mystery that plumbs the elusive nature of identity, fiction, interpretation, and reality.</p>
