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.

这是我读过的第四本帕穆克作品,之前是两本小说:《我的名字叫红》和《白色城堡》和一本non-fiction:《伊斯坦布尔》。我很喜欢这本《雪》,以及《我的名字叫红》和《伊斯坦布尔》,因为它们很对我的胃口。在这些作品中,帕穆克构建的是一群宏大的叙事结构,人物众多,情节复杂...
評分抽时间又把《雪》通读了一遍,没有间断,一气呵成。 吃饭的时候左手也掐着这本白色的经卷,白昼入夜,时间刚好。 在我眼中那突厥人的忧伤,夹杂着阿尔泰山祖先的悠久长调; 黎凡特岸舶来的甜润海风,远东未知之地的香料, 而最少不了的风景,依然是麦加...

評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,...
