  • Awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize for Literature, Orhan Pamuk has written acclaimed novels including My Name Is Red and The Museum of Innocence, as well as essays, criticism, and the classic memoir, Istanbul. In his eighth work of fiction, A Strangeness in My Mind, the Turkish novelist and master storyteller tells the tale of an Istanbul street vendor and the love of his life. The book combines a story of an idealized, unattainable love with a coming-of-age, paralleling the many political and cultural changes going on in the world around the vendor.
    Orhan Pamuk is in conversation with Elliot Ackerman.

    I can see the scenes from this book with my mind’s eye. They are so familiar to people of Asia. Written brilliantly as usual.

    Orhan Pamuk actually put everything he had, into his best novel Kara Kitap a.k.a Black Book. It was some kind of peak for his art of novel. From then up until now every single book he has written was repetitive ones, tasted like something nice but too much familiar.

      Kara Kitap was something.

      Black Book is his best book. The densest and the richest he has ever written. Amazing. There are a thousand stories within a story. He makes you go in circles until at last you reach the predictable point which incidentally is exactly the point from where you started

      You can write a book like The Black Book once only. But because you have so much to tell you will write other stuff. I love all his books.

    There is nothing romantic about being poor. Also, there’s nothing romantic about running away with a wrong girl. But maybe we should stop wanting to be romantic altogether and instead try to be honest with ourselves first. Would anyone be happy with a substitute of their love obsession? Or does it matter that he got the wrong girl. As long as he got a girl who puts up with him thru think and thin or in this case only thru thin! And at the end when he gets the real girl he misses the wrong one who didn’t have existence for herself. Just lived for him. He misses that!!!

    Orhan pamuk, I know you head to toe. You seem heartless by observeing all love couples. You can write emotions but can't live in that emotion.

      In a strange way, I agree with you that this man doesn’t know much about the feeling of love.

      I thought the same thing but I’m not really familiar with Turkish people when they speak English.
