A Pale Man

Banker Mehmet Taşçı left his home when he retired and rented the attic room of Ms. Dürnev, who is over seventy years old, and has been living there for ten years. One day, he checks into a hotel in Kadıköy without informing Ms. Dürnev. He stays there for a while, hits the road on a snowy day; He returns from the Izmit road and comes to Dürnev Hanım again. He lies ill for a while, reads his own obituary in the newspaper... He forms a friendship with the grain merchant Sadık Bey and stays with him for about two months...

He is filled with life. A Pale Man is the loneliness epic of a man who tries to relieve his boredom by throwing himself from place to place.

I will die in the streets. The best thing is to collapse on the pavement at noon, when the streets are liveliest. This time, I will cause trouble for people. They search and ask who he is and what he is. The shop owner quits his job, a passing officer is late for home and dinner. The best thing to do -since I don't have a business card- is to have a card like this with me:

My death to Grocer Seyfullah (Tel: … I kindly request that …......…) be notified. Let him inform Ms. Dürnev. Thank you.
