Over the last 3 decades, Pamuk has written--in addition to his stories & novels--scores of pieces--personal, critical, & meditative--the finest of which he has brilliantly woven together here. He opens a window on his private life, from his boyhood dislike of school to his daughter's precocious melancholy, from his successful struggle to quit smoking to his anxiety at the prospect of testifying against some clumsy muggers who fell upon him during a visit to New York City. From ordinary obligations such as applying for a passport or sharing a holiday meal w/ relatives, he takes extraordinary flights of imagination; in extreme moments, such as the terrifying days following a cataclysmic earthquake in Istanbul, he lays bare our most basic hopes & fears. Again & again Pamuk declares his faith in fiction, engaging the work of such predecessors as Laurence Sterne & Fyodor Dostoyevsky, sharing fragments from his notebooks, & commenting on his own novels. He contemplates his mysterious compulsion to sit alone at a desk & dream, always returning to the rich deliverance that is reading & writing. By turns WITTY, MOVING, PLAYFUL, & PROVOCATIVE, "Other Colors" glows with the energy of a master at work and gives us the world through his eyes, assigning every RADIANT theme and shifting mood its PRECISE shade in the spectrum of significance. * ABOUT ORHAN PAMUK: ORHAN PAMUK won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006. His novel "My Name Is Red" won the 2003 IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. His work has been translated into more than sixty languages. "PAMUK has made his native city an indispensable literary territory, equal to Dostoyevsky's St. Petersburg, Joyce's Dublin, or Proust's Paris--a place where readers from all corners of the world can live another life, just as credible as their own." -from the Nobel Presentation Speech. * HIGH PRAISE FOR ORPAN PAMUK: "Essential reading for our times: In Turkey, Pamuk is the equivalent of a rock star, guru, diagnostic specialist, & potential pundit. The Turkish public reads his novels as if taking its own pulse. -Margaret Atwood, NYTBR. "Pamuk in his dispassionate intelligence & arabesques of introspection suggests Proust." -John Updike, The New Yorker. "Pamuk's is an astonishing achievement." -TLS (London) * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this excellent book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or via USPS PRIORITY MAIL (for a nominal additional fee) & to all international destinations at our posted rates via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL.
