	Orhan Pamuk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ferit Orhan Pamuk (born on June 7, 1952 in Istanbul) is a Nobel Prize-winning Turkish novelist.
		Pamuk is often regarded as a post-modern writer.

	Newsvine - Turkish Writer Orhan Pamuk Wins Nobel
		Novelist Orhan Pamuk, an international symbol of literary and social conscience, whose poetic, melancholy journeys into the soul of his native Turkey have brought him the many blessings and burdens of public life, won the Nobel literature prize Thursday.
		Pamuk was the first Muslim writer to defend Salman Rushdie when Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini condemned Rushdie to death because of "The Satanic Verses," a satire of the Prophet Mohammed published in 1989.
		Pamuk will receive a $1.4 million check, a gold medal and diploma, and an invitation to a lavish banquet in Stockholm, Sweden, on Dec. 10, the 110th anniversary of the death of prize founder Alfred Nobel.

		Pamuk says he decided to write a political novel as much for aesthetic as for ideological reasons.
		Pamuk says he has no desire to write another political novel, but that doesn't mean he can ignore politics -- especially not in a country that borders Iraq.

	Orhan Pamuk
		Most of his life Pamuk has lived in his native city, once confessing that, "Istanbul's fate is my fate: I am attached to this city because it has made me who I am." The double indentity of Istanbul has also deeply affected Pamuk's writing, in which the city and its history are inseparable.
		Pamuk's vision of the city is as particular as James Joyce's Dublin or Günter Grass Danzig.
		In his acceptance speech of the prize Pamuk stated that "The fuelling of anti-Turkish sentiment in Europe is resulting in an anti-European, indiscriminate nationalism in Turkey." Charges against Pamuk were dropped in January 2006.

	ORHAN PAMUK
		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.

	Istanbul - Orhan Pamuk
		Orhan Pamuk's Istanbul is a memoir, but -- as the title suggests -- the city itself figures as centrally as the author.
		Pamuk proceeds more or less chronologically, from his earliest childhood until his university days, culminating in his decision to become a writer, all the while always situating almost everything that happens against the backdrop of Istanbul.
		It is not a single, static locale; indeed, Pamuk's Istanbul is ever shifting and changing, not least because Orhan and his family seem to be constantly moving from apartment to apartment (or Orhan is temporarily taken in by some relative or another), but also because Orhan constantly explores and traverses the city.

		The same year Pamuk went to America, where he was a visiting scholar at Columbia University in New York from 1985 to 1988.
		Pamuk's most recent book, Istanbul, is a poetical work that is hard to classify, combining the author's early memoirs up to the age of 22, and an essay about the city of Istanbul, illustrated with photographs from his own album, and pictures by western painters and Turkish photographers.
		Apart from three years in New York, Orhan Pamuk has spent all his life in the same streets and district of Istanbul, and he now lives in the building where he was raised.

		Pamuk was charged with the crime of "insulting Turkishness," charges that were dropped after outcry from Westerners.
		Orhan Pamuk may still develop into a great writer, but for now the main thing he has going for him is that he's a Turk.
		Pamuk is a great novelist, and furthermore he's intensely critical of Islamic authoritarianism and ought to be a wingnut favorite.

	LitKicks: My Name Is Red by Orhan Pamuk
		Orhan Pamuk has a calm and modest demeanor, but this book is much a tour de force as anything Chuck Pahlaniuk's ever written, and it's nearly as manic.
		Pamuk, however, is clearly more interested in art than in religion (he used to be a painter himself), as are most of the characters in the book.
		Pamuk always writes with great control, and in this book he carries on a unique narrative conceit, allowing the story to unfold in a series of connected vignettes told in first person by each of the main characters in turn.

		Pamuk himself becomes an important character, as he describes his attempts to piece together "what really happened" in the few days his friend Ka spent in Kars, during which snow cuts off the town from the rest of the world and a bloody coup from an unexpected source hurtles toward a startling climax.
		Pamuk's sometimes exhaustive conversations and descriptions create a stark picture of a too-little-known part of the world, where politics, religion and even happiness can seem alternately all-consuming and irrelevant.
		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.

		November 30, 2005 2:09 AM On December 16th the Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk goes on trial charged with insulting the Turkish nation, after stating that the killing of 30,000 Armenians and Kurds by the Ottoman Empire was genocide (as discussed before).
		Pamuk seems to be SOL in this case, paying a heavy price for daring to admit to one of his country's darker chapters.
		Pamuk may be one of the only high profile Turkish intellectuals to publicly air this issue, but believe me, you will always hear a lot of discussion of this history hanging around in the intellectual coffeehouses of Beyoglu.

		Pamuk's stellar ability to give authentic, credible voice to a wide array of eccentric characters, each effortlessly recognizable for all their foible.
		Pamuk shows a broad range of motivations (ranging from sincere spirituality to youthful confusion and longing for meaning in life to rebellion against secularist social conventions) as well as an equally broad range of types of Islam (from a warm, Sufi inwardness to an intolerant political ideology).

		I, too, went to Pamuk because of the critical attention given to him, and as a lover of world literature thought he would be one of those writers that would dissemble my world.
		Orhan is a difficult author who demands a lot from the reader.

		Pamuk, currently a visiting professor at Columbia University in New York, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that he was overjoyed by the award, adding that remarks he made earlier this year referring to the Nobel literature prize as “nonsense” were a mistranslation.

		Pamuk will also receive a $1.4 million check, a gold medal and diploma, and an invitation to a lavish banquet in Stockholm on Dec. 10, the anniversary of the death of prize founder Alfred Nobel.

		Pamuk is under attack for comments he made to a Swiss newspaper in March 2005, which have been interpreted by his detractors as anti-Turkish.
		Yet in the same week the Turkish press reported that Pamuk's books had been burned during a "Respect the Flag" rally in Bilecik, some 150 km south of Istanbul, in protest over the burning a few days earlier of the Turkish flag during Kurdish New Year festivities.
		The fact that the seizure order was quickly cancelled by the Regional Director of Isparta, who told the press on 30 March that the directive had been "mistaken", does little to assuage concerns that a climate of hostility is emerging against writers who comment on "taboo" topics.

		Now the writer Orhan Pamuk, with his unique sense of history and extraordinary gift for narrative, revisits his own family's secrets and idiosyncracies, discovering what made them typical of their time and place.
		And so, in a beautiful and quite riveting fashion, Pamuk transforms the form of autobiography, and what begins as a portrait of the artist as a young man becomes a portrait of the artist as a city.
		Pamuk's Istanbul is a fascinating place and this book is a fascinating book, not least becasue he avoids so many of the western clichés which seem to have defined how even Turks think and write about their home.
