Orhan Kemal Museum: The 20th-century Turkish author Orhan
Kemal's book “The Idle Years” has just been republished in
English, so now might be a good time to drop in on the
museum in Akarsu Yokuşu in Cihangir, which comes attached to
a replica of the İkbal Kahvesi, once a popular literary
hangout in Nuruosmaniye near the Kapalı Çarşı that has since
been torn down. It contains a complete set of first editions
of his books and a mock-up of the room in which he used to
work as well as some interesting photographs of Kemal with
other literary greats, including Nazım Hikmet, with whom he
spent time in prison in Bursa. Open whenever
the İkbal's doors are.
