Orhan Pamuk
Orhan Pamuk is famous for his works examining Turkish identity and history and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006.
Orhan Pamuk was raised in a wealthy, Western-oriented family and attended Robert College, an American school in Istanbul. He continued studying architecture at Istanbul University and after three years dropped out to devote himself to writing. In 1977, he graduated from Istanbul University with a degree in journalism. From 1985 to 1988, he lived in the United States as a visiting professor at Columbia University in New York and the University of Iowa, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.
Orhan Pamuk began writing seriously in 1974 and eight years later published his first novel, Cevdet Bey and His Sons, a sweeping account of an Istanbul family during and after the founding of the Turkish Republic. Pamuk first achieved international fame with his 1985 novel The White Castle, his third novel, which explores the nature of identity through the story of an educated young Italian man who is taken captive as a slave to a scholar in 17th-century Istanbul.
His later widely translated novels included The Black Book (1990), a dense depiction of Istanbul; The New Life (1996); and My Name is Red (1998), the novel that established his fame as an international novelist and which has been translated into several languages, including Arabic, where it was published in Arabic in more than one edition.
Pamuk’s other works include Istanbul: Memories of a City, published in 2004 and translated into Arabic, a partly fictional memoir, and The Naive and Sentimental Novelist, published in 2010, in which he expounded his theories on the novel as a literary form.
