Overview
What is a novel? Why do people write? What do people aspire to learn from literature? What kind of navigator do words play in the journey of writing and reading? Through words, how does the novelist's view of daily life, cityscapes, and issues of East-West identity emerge? After decades of writing, an internationally acclaimed, bold and outspoken novelist is still conversing with these thoughts alone in his study every day. This book is a collection of Pamuk's own essays, a collection of magazine columns, essays, diaries, and speeches, all of which are autobiographical in nature. He talks about literature, about writers who inspired him such as Camus, Rusidi, Bohès, Calvino, Gide, etc.; he also talks about life, about sleepless nights and the sorrow of quitting smoking; he talks about his father, who inspired him to write, and his daughter, who shared intimate moments with him; he talks about the history of Turkey, about the humanistic landscapes of Istanbul, and about the political issues that have always been close to his heart, and he also describes the political turmoil that he himself has been a part of.
