A SLEEPWALKER IN ISTANBUL

After Mes Trains de nuit and Nous aurons toujours Paris, this is the third and last part of the livres libres (free books) trilogy charting a sequence of encounters with people and places. In A Sleepwalker in Istanbul, Éric Faye searches through the prism of his travels for a definition of identity. Places? A language? Or an era with its own distinctive skies and moods? This exploration takes us to northern latitudes from Greenland to Siberia, but also to Japan and central Europe, as well as some Hitchcock locations in California... but it revolves around the streets of Istanbul, on the sleepwalking trail of a deposed red sultan, the very man who allowed the Berlin wall to be opened. From Germany to Nagasaki, from Hiroshima to Okinawa, the past hypnotises passers-by as if, deep down, identity is nothing more than a moment in time carried on our shoulders.
