The Black Book is a detective story, but it exceeds the genre and becomes many other things as well: a comedy, a caper, a labyrinth, an identity crisis. Each time I read it, I feel that, like the character of Galip, I have been consumed by false leads or, at the very least, the city of Istanbul itself.
