This volume contains eighteen academic contributions examining the work
of Orhan Pamuk, one of the leading authors of contemporary Turkish
literature. Scholars working in Turkey, Central and Northern Europe, and
the USA discuss various issues of his fictional and non-fictional texts,
such as narrative technique, his treatment of historical, social,
political, and cultural phenomena, aspects of intertextuality and
intermediality, questions of genre as well as the reception of his work
in different societies. As the number of academic studies on Pamuk in
English is still relatively limited, this book will provide an
international readership with an academic interest in literature with
new insights and approaches to his work.
