"In these stories Gürsel crisscrosses modern Europe, settling in some cities -- like Paris -- for many years, visiting others several times, decades apart. But none of them quite constitutes home. Nor is return to his native Turkey -- from which Gü̈rsel was himself exiled for his political writings in the 70s -- ever really possible, though through his stories, dreams, and memories, he makes many attempts. Art, history, architecture, contemporary politics... all these feed into the palette with which Gürsel paints the migrant experience"--Back cover.
