Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature
'Pamuk is taking the world we thought we knew and making it fresh and alive' New York Times
'Wonderfully readable, a joy to dip into.' Joseph O'Connor, Irish Sunday Independent
From the internationally bestselling writer Orhan Pamuk, a personal selection from twenty-five years of writing, including his Nobel Prize speech and an original short story.
Reflections on his successful struggle to quit smoking, his anxiety at testifying in court, his first trip to Europe and his father's death are accompanied by Pamuk's own black and white drawings. By turns witty, moving, playful and provocative, Other Colours glows with the energy of a master at work.
Other Colours is a collection of immediate relevance and timeless value, ranging from lyrical autobiography to criticism of literature and culture, from humour to political analysis, from delicate evocations of his friendship with his daughter Ruya to provocative discussions of Eastern and Western art. It also covers Pamuk's recent, high profile, court case.
My Father's Suitcase, Pamuk's 2006 Nobel Lecture, a brilliant illumination of what it means to be a writer, completes the selection from a man who is now without doubt one of international literature's most eminent and popular figures.
