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.

《雪》讲述的是一个土耳其诗人的故事。诗人的名字叫做卡,这个名字是他自己取的,因为他不喜欢他的原名,但是喜欢由原名的首字母拼成的卡这个名字,所以,他就这么称呼自己,并且也让母亲和朋友们接受了。 在德国度过了十二年的政治流亡生活之后,诗人卡回到伊斯坦布尔参加他...
评分雪中,世界合为一体 ——读帕慕克的《雪》 西门媚/文 前两天欧洲杯小组赛,正碰上捷克对阵土尔其。 西闪就问我,你支持哪个队啊?这两个国家都有你喜欢的作家。 我支持球队不大讲道理。要么是因为技术上打得流畅好看,要么是喜欢他们的气质性格。再不然,是对他们的国家有好...
评分翻译大概又是一砣便。怎么格调稍微压抑点的书都被国内的翻译者搞成这个调性,看起来根本没有原作者的痕迹或者特点,没劲,没劲。但是看了开头,强迫症就是会让人把即使是一坨屎的东西也看完。 这个版本还有错别字
评分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...
