Read this before, long ago.
Essentially a social portrait/social criticism of Turkish society in the complex, overlapping world of modern Istanbul. Hits on leftists, pious groups, gays, cynical westernized leftist academics, rich profligates, poor Anatolian immigrants, the cleaning obsessed, elderly crazies, various kinds of family dynamics, cats, garbage problem, social and sexual mores, the "Ukranian wives" thing.
Humorous critique.
Bit of a tale within a tale, but not so successful/essential from that point of view.
