Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006, Orhan Pamuk authors books that mine political and religious conflicts in Turkish society while weaving together strands of complex love and longing in his characters. Professor Horace Engdahl exclaimed in his Nobel Prize presentation speech: “You have made your native city an indispensable literary territory, equal to Dostoyevsky’s St. Petersburg, Joyce’s Dublin, or Proust’s Paris.”
