Förlagets beskrivning
From an "e;exceptionally sensitive and perceptive"e; Turkish writer and human rights activist (Orhan Pamuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature), the captivating story of a writer whose own autobiographical novel forces her to come to terms with the dichotomy of the city she once loved: Rio de Janeiro.Ozgur is a young woman on fire: poor, hungry, and on the verge of a mental breakdown. She has only one weapon: her ability to write the city that has robbed her of everything, Rio de Janeiro. Through the reading of the bits and pieces of Ozgur's unfinished eponymous novel, with its autobiographical protagonist named O, Ozgur's story begins to emerge.As Ozgur follows O through the shanty towns, Condomble rituals, and the violence and sexuality of the streets of Rio, the reader follows Ozgur as she searches for a way to make peace with life, a route to catharsis. Together, the two concentric novels reveal the blurry borderline between the two Rio's -- one a metaphor for death, one a city of life. A major hit when it was released in Turkey and Europe, The City in Crimson Cloak is brilliantly evocative and wildly experimental, doing for Rio what Joyce did for Dublin
