Summary
Orhan Pamuk: Strange thoughts in my head
The novel Strange thoughts in my head is both a love story and a modern epic. The novel, which Orhan Pamuk worked on for six years, tells the story of the life of Mevlud Karataš, a boza seller, and his wife, to whom he wrote love letters for three years. For forty years, from 1969 to 2012, Mevlud worked various jobs on the streets of Istanbul, selling yogurt, boza, pilaf, guarding the parking lot. At the same time, he observed how the streets were filled with different people, how a large part of the city was being demolished and rebuilt, and how those who came to Istanbul from Anatolia were getting rich; he was also an eyewitness to the transformations the country was going through, political conflicts and military coups. He is constantly trying to figure out what it is that makes him different and where these strange thoughts come from in his head. But he never gives up on selling boza on winter evenings and asking who is the one he truly loves. Is love decided by intention or fate? Are happiness and unhappiness conditioned by our choices or are they determined by something outside of us? The novel Strange thoughts in my head, looking for answers to these questions, provides the reader with a picture of the conflict between traditional and urban, as well as a picture of the anger and helplessness of a woman condemned to life within four walls.
