Orhan Pamuk
2007-10-30 17:05:00 Orhan Pamuk was in town yesterday, getting an honorary degree from Georgetown University. The story is covered in today's Washington Post.This bit struck a chord with me:"...the novelist...tries to conjure up one by one a multitude of readers hidden away in corners, nestled in their armchairs with their novels." Then, before his eyes, "thousands, tens of thousands of readers will take shape, stretching far and wide, across the streets of the city, and as they read, they dream the author's dream, imagine his heroes into being and see his world. So now these readers, like the author himself, try to imagine 'the other' -- they are putting themselves in another's place." By the end of this vision, Pamuk said, he sees his novel readers as "an entire nation . . . imagining itself into being."

A review of The Black Book by Orhan Pamuk
2007-10-13 14:28:00 I have visited Turkey, but not Istanbul. Itâs one of those iconic places that keeps cropping up in travel plans, but then gets overlooked, possibly because its name fits so easily into my thoughts that I convince myself I have already been there. Having just read Orhan Pamukâs The Black Book, that illusion will be orders of magnitude stronger. Orhan Pamuk won the 2006 Nobel Prize for literature and this seems to have spurned new translations of his work, new versions which hopefully can widen his readership in the English-speaking world.The Black Book is a gigantic work. And, in the way that I suspect most readers might understand the term, there is no plot. Suffice it to say that Galip wakes up one morning and his wife has disappeared. He assumes she has gone off to seek out her first husband, Celal, a well-known newspaper columnist. Galip sets off to find Celal and, he assumes, his wife, but strangely the journalist has also disappeared. As a means to help him track down the t...

?Me llamo Rojo?, arte, cultura y magia de la mano de Orhan Pamuk
2007-09-02 20:53:00 A veces, entre tanta lectura de reciclaje, es posible verse sorprendido con un libro diferente. Jamás había leído nada parecido, ya no hablo de calidad o de entretenimiento, si no de darme el placer de compartir una semana con un objeto cuyo contenido me ha dejado huella y además sin esperarlo.

Book Review: Snow by Orhan Pamuk
2007-05-28 12:54:00 There are very few writers of our time who can give us a palatable version of poetic prose.Orhan Pamuk, who came into the international spotlight only recently, is a gifted wordsmith who can craft magical scenes in even the most joyless of landscapes.Snow, the seventh novel by Pamuk traces the journey of Ka, a poet exiled to Germany for many a year back to the small, sleepy and isolated town of Kars. Kars has been grappling for the last few decades with the ideas of modernity and Islamism. This tussle of idealogies has come down to a dangerous triviality. A spate of young women who have been barred from wearing headscarves are killing themselves in the most routine and disturbingly unobstrusive way. Ka who has turned up in this town only on the vague hope of reuniting and wooing an old acquaintance, the beautiful Ipek, claims to be there to research and report the suicides of the headscarve girls for a western newspaper. The narrator is Ka's friend, very unsurprisingly called Orha... |
