An Evening with Orhan Pamuk
Friday, October 19, 2007 @ 8:00 PM, Campbell Hall
2006 Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature
`The great and almost irresistibly beguiling Turkish novelist.’ The New York
Times Book Review
Author Orhan Pamuk has gained international recognition for his compelling
works of fiction. His landmark novel The Black Book (Kara Kitap) signified a
definite break from the social realism of Turkish literature and provoked
worldwide debate for its Sufism references. Pamuk’s most recent work, Snow
(Kar), is a tale of love and poetry that illustrates the political and
religious conflicts that characterize modern Turkey. A Nobel Laureate, Pamuk
has been honored with more than a dozen literary awards and has had his work
translated into more than 40 languages.
