| | Orhan Pamuk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Pamuk's fourth novel Yeni Hayat (New Life), caused a sensation in Turkey upon its 1995 publication and became the fastest-selling book in Turkish history. | | | The novel blends mystery, romance, and philosophical puzzles in a setting of 16th century Istanbul. | | | He returned later in 2005, however, to face the charges against him. |

| | The presentation is unusual, the narrator at the fore in certain chapters, acknowledging that he writes this years after the events and describing his research in Germany and Turkey on the trail of Ka, while elsewhere disappearing entirely and presenting the story as it happens, as if he had witnessed all the events. | | | Then there is Ka, who is able to write poetry again: none of the poems are reproduced here, but the genesis of each is carefully noted and often described in some detail; there is even an index at the end of the book, of "The order in which Ka wrote his poems". | | | "Pamuk's master here is Dostoevsky, but amid the desperate students, cafés, small shopkeepers, gunshots and inky comedy are the trickeries familiar from modern continental fiction. |

| | Pamuk's work is reminiscent of the great storytelling classics -- The Thousand and One Nights, Boccaccio's Decameron or Jan Potocki's Manuscript Found in Saragossa, with their bawdy comedy, intricate design and mystical overtones. | | | Whether you are new to the writings of Orhan Pamuk or like me, a convert to his work in translation, you will find the book, "Snow," is packed, nay; overflowing with Turkish humanity. | | | Snow falls on the city, and all the protagonists are snowed in and cut off from the rest of the world, and it is during this period where violence erupts and betrayals abound, bringing to head conflicts concerning love, religion, family, politics, and loyalty. |

| | Pamuk is the Turkish novelist of his generation best equipped to navigate the mainstream of contemporary European literature. | | | The White Castle (published in 1979 but translated in 1990), the story of a Turkish master and his European slave, is a perfect example of his melding of the modern with the traditional. | | | He is by far the country's best-selling author and his books are now translated into 20 languages. |

| | The result is a strange mix of over-detailed reporting on the events and circumstances in Kars during the snow storm and very generalized, almost philosophical commentary on love, poetry, happiness in which the character Ka is embedded. | | | Her beauty is praised constantly, but nothing much of her character is revealed. | | | Several times, he addresses the reader directly and, halfway through the book, reveals what happens to Ka after his return to Germany. |

| | Turkey’s foremost novelist, Orhan Pamuk, is charged with being a national heretic. By extension, the narrator of Snow ... |
| | For reasons that would spoil the book, Orhan assembles his friend Ka’s activities, thoughts, justifications, and poem ideas from notes and sources to tell the true story of what happened during Kars’ political upheaval when the city was made impassable by snow. | | | When considering the nature of these charges in light of Snow (written pre- and post-9/11 and published in Turkey in 2002, in the U.S. last year, and in paperback this summer), Pamuk’s ability to write politically-charged narrative whose themes haunt, and will indefinitely plague, the globe is rendered all the more terrifyingly sublime. | | | Is Pamuk being indirectly persecuted for highlighting such truths, and, more specifically, the whitewashing of truths, in his fiction? |

| | It is not so much that Istanbul made Pamuk (though he does go so far as to say it did), but it is an integral part of who he became and is. Explaining and describing his hometown allows Pamuk to describe himself, using it as a reflection of his character, outlook, even personality. | | | (...) A master of elegant miniatures, Pamuk writes concisely, piling scene upon scene, and, at one stage, composing a dazzling single sentence a hypnotic two-and-half pages long. | | | (...) Orhan Pamuk has remained faithful to his opulent muse. |

| | Being the man of literature par excellence, his biography as a novelist is shaped in line with the history of the novel in general, his overall career, as well as his individual works, makes references to the world of literature. | | | The Black Book (1990) and New Life (1994) are clearly in the post-modern tradition of novel-writing. | | | What distinguishes Orhan Pamuk from most other Turkish writers is that for him the activity of writing is a mode of existence. |

| | Arriving during a blizzard, he feels as if it is "snowing at the end of the world," and when the city is closed to all traffic for three days, "The desolation and remoteness…hit him with such force that he felt God inside him." | | | The plot is exciting enough to keep a reader who is interested in politics, religion, and philosophy fully and enthusiastically occupied, but readers hoping primarily for an exciting story will find the pace slow as Pamuk explores his themes. | | | Orhan Pamuk was born in Istanbul in 1952 and has spent all his life there, except three years in New York City. |
