Orhan Pamuk’s novel My Name Is Red won the 2003 IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. His work has been translated into more than twenty languages. He lives in Istanbul.
A Turkish poet who spent 12 years as a political exile in Germany witnesses firsthand the clash between radical Islam and Western ideals in this enigmatically beautiful novel. Ka's reasons for visiting the small Turkish town of Kars are twofold: curiosity about the rash of suicides by young girls in the town and a hope to reconnect with "the beautiful Ipek," whom he knew as a youth. But Kars is a tangle of poverty-stricken families, Kurdish separatists, political Islamists (including Ipek's spirited sister Kadife) and Ka finds himself making compromises with all in a desperate play for his own happiness. Ka encounters government officials, idealistic students, leftist theater groups and the charismatic and perhaps terroristic Blue while trying to convince Ipek to return to Germany with him; each conversation pits warring ideologies against each other and against Ka's own weary melancholy. 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. A detached tone and some dogmatic abstractions make for tough reading, but Ka's rediscovery of God and poetry in a desolate place makes the novel's sadness profound and moving.

评分我一直在想象真正的生活。想象自己在扮演一出戏,剧里的主角不是自己,他的每一个举动都值得关注,他的每一个决定都有一个戏剧性的后果。哪怕他不是最终重逢凶化吉、以喜剧收场,他的悲剧总是被赋予意义。 但我们终归知道,至少在这一点上,生活远比肥皂剧无趣。很多时候,我...
评分抽时间又把《雪》通读了一遍,没有间断,一气呵成。 吃饭的时候左手也掐着这本白色的经卷,白昼入夜,时间刚好。 在我眼中那突厥人的忧伤,夹杂着阿尔泰山祖先的悠久长调; 黎凡特岸舶来的甜润海风,远东未知之地的香料, 而最少不了的风景,依然是麦加...
评分一个流亡归来的诗人,抱着寻找幸福的念头,去一个偏僻的小城寻找自己美丽的大学同学,打算抱得美人归,去往法兰克福。但最终,他身单而来,只影而去。唯一的收获,是一本其他人再也无法看到的诗集,以及找不到原因的死亡。 对这一趟来去空空的寻找幸福之旅的描述的白色封面的书...
评分上海人民新出的《伊斯坦布尔》和《雪》最后介绍了作者奥尔罕.帕慕克的全部作品,后面日期应该是出版日期,最后一页《黑书》等几本后的“2006”应该是“2007”才对!
