Pendant une semaine, jour et nuit dans Istanbul, un jeune avocat, Galip, part à la recherche de sa femme Ruya, qu'il aime depuis l'enfance, et qui lui a laissé une lettre mystérieuse : est-ce un jeu ? un adieu ? Dans le fol espoir de la retrouver, il fouille ses souvenirs et le passé militant de Ruya. Il lit et relit les écrits de Djélâl, le demi-frère de sa femme - un homme secret qu'il admire. Mais lui aussi semble avoir disparu. À la recherche des deux êtres qu'il aime, Galip est en même temps en quête de sa propre identité et, bientôt, de celle d'Istanbul, présentée ici sous un aspect singulier : toujours enneigée, boueuse et ambiguë, insaisissable.

A Strangeness In My Mind is a novel Orhan Pamuk has worked on for six years.

In the four decades between 1969 and 2012, Mevlut works a number of different jobs on the streets of Istanbul, from selling yoghurt and cooked rice, to guarding a car park. He observes many different kinds of people thronging the streets, he watches most of the city get demolished and re-built, and he sees migrants from Anatolia making a fortune; at the same time, he witnesses all of the transformative moments, political clashes, and military coups that shape the country. He always wonders what it is that separates him from everyone else - the source of that strangeness in his mind.

Do our choices dictate whether we will be happy or not, or are these things determined by forces beyond our control? A Strangeness In My Mind tries to answer these questions while portraying the tensions between urban life and family life, and the fury and helplessness of women inside their homes.
