Orhan Pamuk
0 Has anybody read anything by Orhan Pamuk, the Turkish writer? I discovered him a few months ago and I am really impressed! There are two books translated in my native language (My Name is Red; and The White Castle) and I think several have been translated in English. To me his writing is a unique combination of down-to-earth story with deep psychological reflections. You cannot but begin seeing, hearing and feeling through the eyes, ears and hearts of his characters. I do recommend it to everyone who likes good literature! 0-

0 He is a very famous writer in Turkey. I recommend you "Snow". In this novel, you will learn a lot of things about islamic-rooted political parties, anti-secular movements and headscarf issue in Turkey.

00 You are right. I've read his several books and share your opinions. I don't know you consent me if I say he is deeply influenced by Umberto Eco's semiological approach. 0-

0 Actually I meant he wanted to get more popular in anti-Turkish people by saying about alleged Armenian genocide and massacres of Kurds. I'm agree with you about his books. I only wanted his ideas about what i said before are not acceptable for Turkish people. I wish he hadn't talked about the issues that he hadn't enough knowledge. 02 br

00 It hasn't occurred to me that there could be some connection but now that you mention it, yes, one can look at Orhan Pamuk's book in this way. I'm not sure he is really influenced by Eco, but I agree that one can see some semiological issues in his books. 02 br
00 BTW, do you like Joyce? (Given you nickname...) 05 0 010id 1

00 I've read The White Castle already. All in all, I've found two books by Orhan Pamuk translated in my language. I'll have to check up for English translations to find something else (Snow for instance). 02 br
