I am half way through reading his Museum of innocence, in Chinese, and can't help searching for his news on internet, which brought me here. I love his works. I will read all his books and visit Istanbul someday.
@@pasojamakovic9582 I visited Istanbul last year, and now begin to read Snow every night in China. Hope find more connection between the city and the book.
whaaaat there're ppl who thought his pronunciation was not good? that's so ridiculous English is not his mother tongue whats the point of all the doubts?? it's such an excellent speech and im so obsessed with his novels, such a master!
Today I was this video after a few Nobel speeches from amazing novelists like Kazio Ishiguro. I have to say the speech has a humor and a familiar taste that we find in his books. I was a child when he won this Nobel prize and of course it was sensetional at that times and I think I don’t even have to say it but he was always a controversial figure for Turkish public. Now as a 31 years old grown up who literally listens this speech for the first time I couldn’t feel more satisfied and fun. It should have been much more appritiated.
As a Turk, I'm of course proud of him; Nobel is a big organisation and Orhan Pamuk really deserves it. But after Nights of Plague; it seems like he is not a Turkish anymore. First of all he doesn't act like a Turkish anymore; and it seems like he doesn't care about the values that a Turk has to protect. Maybe I'm wrong; that's my opinion I never met personally, so don't get me wrong. And of course he can do whatever he wants to do. That's just my opinion. And I really love to read his books. For instance; Museum of Innocense was really perfect.
Orhan Pamuk writes his novels in Turkish. His English is just like mine: poor. He is able to express himself with some kind of precision, yet he can’t use as many shades as he does in Turkish. I suppose someone else corrected his Nobel speech or even translated it from Pamuk’s native language. I know his accent is too obvious and a little disturbing, but I suggest you the following: study Turkish and try to read a passage loud. You would likely sound funny. I read Pamuk’s work in Spanish. I cannot criticize him linguistically, for I don’t know Turkish (what matters the most to me of Pamuk’s work is his technical achievements and erudition). Maybe, the man who’s actually able to do that is Pamuk’s translator, Rafael Carpintero, who has lived in Turkey for decades and probably understands Pamuk’s prose better than any of us.
Jorge Andrés Bayas his accent is bad. However, it does not affect his fluency. In fact, maybe the irony is, he graduated from a very prominent school in Turkey. An american school namely Robert College...
Hi i am turkish woman. I read his books main language and i can say yes he has got some weaknesses about language rules and sentences qualites but i can say he so smart and so tallented about made charecter and made or find story. I am proud of him.
@Igotangry Wow. I don't know where all of this negativity comes from, but it certainly isn't welcome. He is a writer... that part is not up for subjectivity. He dedicates his life to writing and literature. That is what a writer does. You may choose to not think certain people are good writers, but that doesn't mean they're not writers in the first place. They're just bad writers, in your opinion. Personally I've read some of his literature, and I found it to be thought provoking and insightful.
Interesting speech. I definitely don't feel childish and alive when I'm writing, but to each their own. I'm just glad that someone doing what they love is getting recognition. It confirms my beliefs about what to do with my life.
This comment is stirring something up in me.could you please help me clarify your statement by referring source materials from which you made this conclusion? Thank you.it would be fine if u reply to this
@@swadeshj2481 A man who slandered his own nation by saying that the Turks committed a massacre of armenians, and thanks to this slander, he was deemed worthy of the Nobel Prize. global powers...
This is his moment, why does he have to be perfect with his speech? He’s a brilliant writer that’s all people care about. Thats why he’s up there being natural himself. People has always some shit to say.
He isnt worth the nobel...very mediocre..read his novels...maybe they wanted someone from middle east to award....some are lucky ..his publicity must have helped..
I should be first impressed after reading..which I didn't feel..long winded stories...you tell me the aspects on which you think a writer can be considered ..I will give my opinion..even if I judge taking criteria say like characterisation.. issues dealt..language..it will be academic excercise..
