Title : The City Whose Cape Is Red - Asli Erdogan - Book

Summary :

Ozgür, a young student from Istanbul, arrives in Rio one day expecting to stay with a university student. A taxi takes her to the address indicated, where, unfortunately, she is not expected. Alone in this city overflowing with sensuality but also terror, she decides to stay. Thus begins for her an initiation through falling.

Every day, violence draws closer and poverty suffocates her, but Ozgür pushes back fear, sidesteps death, then tames it. Every day, vertigo draws her, toward the depths, toward the very heart of Rio de Janeiro, a sublime labyrinth hiding behind its carnival mask a monstrous creature that will reveal the young woman to herself: she will write a book.

A hymn to the fragility of man in his own hell, The City Whose Cape Is Red was hailed, upon its publication in 1998, as a masterpiece.
