Excellent interview of Nobel Laureate in Literature, Orhan Pamuk

http://rasanaatreya.wordpress.com/2011/04/17/talk-by-orhan-pamuk/ Interviewer is unappealing, and don't think he read all the books. I like My Name is Red and Snow. But Pamuk ranges over a wide range of issues - only others who might talk like this are Hemingway, maybe Dickens, and Salman Rushdie - kmk

Excellent interview of Nobel Laureate in Literature, Orhan Pamuk

I have a copy of the Hall book--it's a very thick paperback-so--hard to read in one sitting and I prefer print books.
