每一座伟大的城市必定有一个书写她的作家,乔哀思选择了都柏林;普鲁斯特写过巴黎;张爱玲也写过上海。至于在三年前获得诺贝尔文学奖的土耳其作家奥尔罕·帕慕克,除了为自己作传,也为伊斯坦布尔作传。他最为人熟悉的作品除了《我的名字叫红》之外,便应属《伊斯坦布尔:一座城市的记忆》了。 Every great city must have written a writer for her, Joe chose Dublin for his grief, Proust wrote Paris, and Zhang Ailing wrote for Shanghai. As for the Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature three years ago, besides being a self-proclaimed one, he also made a biography for Istanbul. His most familiar work should belong to “Istanbul: the Memory of a City” except for My Name is Red.
