istanbul: a past and future city
April 24, 2008
Just ahead of my departure for Manaus, it seems a good moment to revisit the series I reported from Istanbul. It’s a look at Turkish life in a time of cultural transition, and it features archeologists, cymbalsmiths, Orhan Pamuk, Turkish bloggers, Japanese tunnel-builders and possibly the best clarinet player in the world. You’ll find it all here, where you can also grab a podcast of most of the stories.
