  friday night sees mr cano out drinking with his friends in an istanbul bar. with women, he plays casanova, kissing their hands and being studiously charming. but ask mr cano where he was born, and he takes out his photos of tunceli, or dersim, the wild region of south-east turkey. "i am always there," he says gazing at the pictures, rapt.
  
  the region is beautiful, certainly. but it was the scene of a ferociously bloody revolt in 1938, and the mountains of tunceli are still some of the most lawless in turkey. tunceli is alevi country, and mr cano is an alevi, a member of a muslim sect so heterodox, many muslims regard them as infidels. alevis have a long history of persecution. could this be the key to mr cano's many paradoxes? he does not reply. for a moment, he is lost in the mountains of his childhood.
