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.

我觉得自己与他的书产生了奇妙的共振,仿佛每一个字符的跳动都与我的心跳一样,有着有趣的节奏。 可以说伊斯坦布尔的“呼愁”影响了他的写作,他总是在寻找那股忧伤的源泉,这在《雪》中也体现得淋漓尽致。雪是贯穿书的始终的线索,又是令人忧伤的美景,同样是打破人的心...
评分<雪>是以飞快的速度看完的,很久没有读过如此吸引人的小说了,而且还是本浪漫的政治小说。 把《伊斯坦布尔》,《我的名字叫红》也一起比对的话,觉得卡,黑,和奥尔罕简直就是同一个人。卡是个孤独,忧郁,分裂的双子座中年男人,黑自述过忧郁的定义,每当他感觉到大喜和大悲时...
评分 评分土耳其地图的最右侧,距离亚美尼亚与格鲁吉亚边境不远处有一座城市叫卡尔斯,那里有一座纪念亚美尼亚大屠杀的纪念馆,不同的是,它并非是纪念在大屠杀中死去的亚美尼亚人,而是为了向世人说明被亚美尼亚人杀了不少的土耳其人。 被无休止的雪所隔离的卡尔斯是这部作品的舞台,...
评分2010年的冬天我出了好几趟门。远的要坐六个小时的飞机,近的也要两个小时的火车。帕慕克的这本《雪》(snow)居然让我在各种交通工具上断断续续地看完了。这本书给我带来的阅读喜悦,远比我所期待的要大。说这阅读经历如同扫罗出外寻找父亲的驴而得到一个王国,可能有点夸张了...
