From a Turkish copy writer who may have been compared with Borges, Nabokov, and DeLillo comes a stunning novel that is at once a captivating work of historical fiction and a sinuous treatise on the enigma of identification and the relations between East and West. Within the 17th century, a young Italian scholar sailing from Venice to Naples is used prisoner and delivered to Constantinople. There he comes into the custody of a scholar known as Hoja - "master" - a guy who is his exact twin. Within the years that follow, the slave instructs his professional in Western research and technology, from medicine to pyrotechnics. But Hoja needs to know more: why he and his captive will be the persons they are really and whether, given understanding of each other's most romantic secrets, they could actually exchange identities. Set in an environment of magnificent scholarship and terrifying savagery, The White Castle is a vibrant and intricately patterned triumph of the creativity. Translated from the Turkish by Victoria Holbrook.
