A Fez of the Heart by Jeremy Seal
This is Jeremy Seal's quest, by means of a fez, for the heart of a country culturally and spiritually at odds with herself. The fez's opposing associations - both revered Eastern-Islamic headdress and banal tourist souvenir - exactly reflects Turkey's cultural faultline. While Turkey pays court to the EC and becomes the latest mecca for mass-tourism, the resurgent voices of Islamic traditionalism and Kurdish separatism are stark reminders of the country's complex cultural topography.Twenty-five years ago, travel writer Jeremy Seal fell in love with Turkey. He has returned to produce books and articles on a regular basis since then. The Snakebite Survivors' Society, A Fez of the Heart, Treachery at Sharpnose Point, and Nicholas are among his works.
