Ankara, Turkey

Here in Ankara is a window box with four layers of culture: (1) white lace on the inside and (2) garlands of red peppers on the outside. In between: (3) window panes framed in peeling white paint, and (4) a soldered-metal mesh that looks as strong as the peppers. What story do they tell about the old citadel? [1998]
