A Fez of the Heart is the tale of Jeremy Seal’s journey around Turkey in search of a hat. Setting out across Turkey in the extremes of winter, Seal traces the history of the culture- defining, cone-shaped hat. It is not long before he comes to see the fez as the key by which this enigmatic country, so beset by contradictions, might be understood. A Fez of the Heart is both an intelligent, humorous and informative travelogue, as well as being a skilled and entertaining portrait of late twentieth century Turkey.
