"Great writers will themselves to do an archeological dig of sorts, by going into—the ruins of—their minds and sorting things out, by turning things around and actually picking them apart." So beautifully said, Kalpana. I do like Pamuk, but selectively. I think I'm happy to leave this one to you. Thanks for your always-sensitive reviewing!
Such a powerful and beautifully articulated review! I went on an Orhan Pamuk binge some years back and emerged in a trance. It can be hit or miss with him, though.
Looking forward to whatever you have in store for us next!

That's what I'm hearing! Btw, I'm reading his Istanbul and it's fantastic. Museum needed to be shorter by a few hundred pages, in my view.
