When We Were Orphans, structurally, did not turn out to be like The Unconsoled. And I loved it more for it. I do like a bit of surreal but not all.
Anyway I have started to read Pembe Tütülü Amiral (lit.translation Admiral in Pink Tutu) written by Mehmet Murat Somer, and as usual with this writer's novels I'm loving it. This time we don't have our transvestie detective and we know what happens right from the start but the novel is more about how the dynamics of an investigation of a death of an admiral works in Turkey. There is the army vs. prosecutor/police, press and responsibility to provide news vs. media boss and business connections, meanwhile how a lot of people spend all their lives in the closet continue to do what they want to do in secret. All written in a light prose that makes you drift along as the events unfold. Well he is not Kazuo Ishiguro but Mr.Somer entertains nevertheless.
