Orhan Pamuk

Explore the magnificent literary world of Orhan Pamuk, Turkey's most celebrated novelist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2006. Pamuk's novels are steeped in the beauty, melancholy, and complexity of Istanbul — a city poised between East and West, tradition and modernity, memory and loss. His essential works include My Name is Red, a dazzling murder mystery set in the world of Ottoman miniature painting; Snow, a haunting political novel set in a snowbound Anatolian city; The Museum of Innocence, an obsessive love story; and Istanbul, his luminous memoir of the city he calls home. A writer of extraordinary depth and beauty.
