The Woman on the Moon

The Woman on the Moon

The Woman on the Moon is a quintessential Tanpınar novel. It is a novel about Istanbul, especially the Bosphorus and the sea, as well as a novel about love that, because it can never be expressed, expands, writhes, and transforms into a poisonous force within. The author also conceived the work as a political novel. The failure of Türkiye's democratic experiences merges with the failure of its people. In a way, it shares many points with both *Huzur* (Peace) and *Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü* (The Clock Adjustment Institute). Tanpınar, who placed himself in every novel, is also present in this one. Reading *The Woman on the Moon* alongside his diaries, Tanpınar's fragmentation between his dreams and daily realities can also be traced in Selim's experiences.
