Other Colors : Essays and a Story

Description

By Orhan Pamuk

Essays, articles and one story, written over three decades alongside the novels. Pamuk writes about his daughter, his father’s suitcase, earthquakes, being put on trial, giving up painting, and the particular loneliness of the writing life.

There is a great deal of Istanbul in it, and a long section on the books that formed him, from Sterne and Dostoevsky to Nabokov and Camus.
