Summary
Orhan Pamuk: The Black Book
The Black Book was written in 1990 as Pamuk's fourth novel and from then until today it is one of his most complex, but also the most widely circulated books both in Turkey and in the world. If the opulent novel I Call It Red was compared to Eco's The Name of the Rose, The Black Book could find its equivalent in Foucault's pendulum. But it is wider than that: it is woven from Eastern tradition and Pamuk's talent for telling a story, and from Western modernist excursions into fantasy - it is both One Thousand and One Nights and a crime story in one.
