ORHAN is quite likely to be a professional success; his vision of the world is perfectly adapted to prevailing opinion, and his urges and desires for personal expansion usually elicit a positive reaction from society.
ORHAN is a flexible individual, and his intellectual faculties draw on sudden flashes of pure intuition as well as logical, rational thought.
As a result, ORHAN should always be asking himself why he aspires to a certain career or profession, what his learning is worth, what meaning he wants to give his relationship with society, what he is ready to give of himself, and what he wants from society in exchange.

 ORHAN PAMUK   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
He is Orhan Pamuk, the writer, the novelist and not simply Orhan Pamuk, the individual, when he deals with, or ponders on a historical, political, social, aesthetic or merely existential question.
They are, in the words of Frederic Jameson, "national political allegories", in the sense that they present a general and historical vision of the society to which Orhan Pamuk belongs; but in form and technique they possess the entire arsenal of the post-modern novel born in the West.
Orhan Pamuk has been an innovator in the context of the Turkish novel in many ways, but I would like to dwell on one -very basic- trait of his work.

 Hoobellatoo - I, Orhan Veli

 Turkey’s foremost novelist, Orhan Pamuk, is charged with being a national heretic. By extension, the narrator of Snow ...
The east versus the west, radical Islam versus right-wing republican governments, belief in God versus secular atheism, poverty versus so-called enlightenment, and national sovereignty versus freedom of speech are a handful of dueling variegations in the novel, in which Pamuk himself appears as a character.
A detective questions Orhan if he is in town snooping about an affair known as "the Armenian thing." When representatives from Kars’ multitude of political views gather to sign a document about the military’s staged coup and its ensuing aftermath, the lack of Armenian voice becomes noticeable because of the very impossibility of having one.
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.

Orhan Veli Kanýk, (often referred to as Orhan Veli without the use of his family name), presided over the demise of strict stanzaic forms and stood squarely against artifice, hackneyed metaphors and a variety of cliches and literary embellishments which had rendered much of the work of his predecessors sterile.
Orhan Veli was speaking with lilting rhythms for and about the man (and woman) in the street.
Orhan Veli might have added that he translated dozens of poems from the French (Villon and Ronsard to ValŽry and Apollinaire) as well as rubais by Khayyam and Rumi, not to mention Japanese haikus and some Chinese verses.

In Orhan Pamuk's self-avowed first (and last) political novel, the disaffected and somewhat anesthesitized inhabitants of Kars find their imperfect voice in his newest novel.
Through mad-cap theatrical coup and broad, windy statements to an imagined and unhearing "Western Press," the reader is ingeniously treated and sometimes led by the nose, to the complexities of an Islamic society that desires access to its past and admittance to the modern world.
Orhan Pamuk is a very fine writer, and there are numerous gripping and moving passages.

Orhan Veli Kanýk - chided by old-timers as an enfant terrible, but praised by the young-at-heart as a trailblazer - was laid to rest at age 36.
In most of his poems, Orhan Veli strikes a vital chord by offering the simple truth, and he is usually so sincere as to seem almost sentimental.
It is mind-boggling to imagine the scope and the quality of what Orhan Veli Kanýk might have produced in the five decades from 1950 to 2000.

 Pera Palas, a CurtainUp Los Angeles review
In 1952 Kathy Miller, a young American teacher, is swept away by darkly passionate Orhan, son of Bedia, a servant in Pasha Ali's harem whose marriage was arranged when the Sultan's regime fell and the family could no longer afford to keep her.
Orhan is equally idealistic about his career opportunities under the new Republic of Turkey and its friendly ally, the United States.
Ramon de Ocampo is a passionate Orhan, Mikael Salazar ranges from dignified power figures to Joe Brown, the caricature of an Okie, and Deborah Puette lends a graceful beauty to the Pasha's first wife Neyime and a gawky grace to Anne Miller.

Orhan is not only one of the most important modern writers in Europe, he is one of the examples of the possible modernity of Turkey."
But for all the contentious stances he has taken, Pamuk rarely deals with political issues head-on in his fiction, and he has even been criticised by his natural supporters, who claim the distancing effect of some of his postmodernist techniques has made his work too apolitical.
"Orhan was a very attractive character who was constantly chain-smoking, drinking coffee and speaking a mile a minute," says Goldsmith.

Orhan Gencebay succeeded completely to blend orient and eastern tunes into one shape in new way he had started.  His "progressive" music was understood as being arabesque amongst people except for some as a result his music was prohibited and sometimes limited in Turkey (on TVs, Radios etc).
".  Erkin and Orhan were and still are good friends and worked together for a time where their minds influenced each other (see picture on top left).
Finally I can say that Orhan is very rare musician in the world that performed progressive tunes with a naturel instrument (in a way it can be seen how some indian musicians performed with their sitar also).

My Name Is Red takes up where all the non-fiction leaves off, bringing us into the very soul of Islamic thought as it is realized and articulated by a group of 16th century miniaturist painters who have been asked to construct an illustrated book not in traditional islamic style but in Venetian single-point perspective.
Orhan Pamuk not only captures the world of 16th century Istanbul, but also is able to open an entire philosophy of art to Western readers.
The "rich and essential" (as LA Times would have it) novel by Orhan Pamuk represents yet another example of a Turkish novelist's oblivious treatment of his country's violent historical and cultural past.
