So Orhan Pamuk, Turkish author of My Name Is Red and Snow, won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Thanks to Kimbofo at Reading Matters, I read Snow earlier this year, but it seems that the Nobel Prize committee and I do not have the same tastes in literature. Or I just don’t get it. Or something.

My comments on Snow.

Discussion of Snow at Reading Matters.

Andrei Codrescu reviews Snow.

Fiction writer Christine Fischer Guy and poet Adam Sol, author of Jonah’s Promise and Crowd of Sounds, discuss Snow.

So, have you read any of Pamuk’s novels? If so, what do you think?
