Portrait lithograph of Swedish playwright, writer and painter August Strindberg made by Edvard Munch in 1896, from the estate of Ingmar Bergman.
In Istanbul, grown men walk together with their elbows linked. Schoolboys sit with a draped arm forgotten around the other’s shoulders. College students would ruffle one another’s hair. It was deeply affecting to be in the midst of a culture where men were allowed to touch one another in a way that was not sexual and not violent but simply fraternal.
