It follows the doomed relationship between a young man Ömer who has to leave his university philosophy degree course and now works in a dead-end job in the Post Office, and a young woman Macide who is attending the Conservatoire in Istanbul studying piano. Ömer resents his lack of money and prospects, and his mental state deteriorates throughout the book. He believes he has a 'devil inside him' which makes him do things he would otherwise not choose to do. When Macide's former music teacher at her high school Bedri reappears, everything changes. Acting as a backdrop to the affair of Ömer and Macide is the milieu of writers and intellectuals active in Istanbul in the late 1930s in which they mixed. The Devil Inside Us portrays the deep observations on human nature and social constructs of a great writer who, in the words of Asım Besirci ‘bore honest, courageous and masterful witness to his age and environment.’
