I'm obsessed with his books. His books leave me numb from time to time. I see myself changing with his books. I could tell he has an artistic soul when i read my first book written by him. He is a gem alive.
I just finished reading Istanbul memories and the city...I could not put the book down, such wonderful, real life story! Orhan Pamuk sure made his mother and the nation proud!
@Tekir Kedi for some he is first class patriot as well. Every one prints his own certificate, as this printing service is very common in countries like ours.
Orhan Bey, Kitaplarınızda bulduğum dostluğu, gerçeği ve ümidi diyebilirim ki insanlarda bulamadım. Bu bir itiraf değil sadece bir gözlem. Bizlere verdiğiniz bu paha biçilmez hediye için gönülden teşekkür. Gülden. -- Sarasota FL
Hi Orhan 👋 I am kurdish, In 2012 , I read your masterpiece , the novel: " snow ❄ " in kurdish. Now the same book is physically in my hands, but in English version, translated by Maureen Freely. I thought it was a must to reread it again and to go back in memory to have a stroll with your characters through the snow- covered streets of Kars
I LOVE HIM. I HAD TO STUDY A LOT TO ASSIMILATE HIS HUMANISTIS UNIVERSE. HE IS WONDERFUL. I LEARNED WITH HIS BOOKS MORE ABOUT THE HUMAN BEING AND UNIVERSAL VALUES,. WHEN I READ AGAIN ANY OF HIS BOOKS IT IS LIKE THE FIRST READING BECAUSE WE LOST THINGS.VERY UNIVERSAL.
Why did you decide to be a writer? Because I loved reading as a child. As I grew up I embraced the spirit of travel. The books I read were amazing portrayals of life styles that I hoped to be a part of. I realize now a writer cannot be at two places at one time. That kind of schism only poibts to darkness. A dark place should not be discovered but explored. Secret.
You are amazing person, do you remember me? I remember you all the time, let’s see each other, you think I am gone? But I am alive waiting for you to call me. You don’t know how much I want to see you all the time‼️‼️‼️how are the girls? My parents? I listen to your interviews all the time. Don’t feel old, you are what ever you feel in your heart ❤️ you are the best man in this world. Call me please I have never that you will be that man. Make sure that you keep safe. If you see my parents tell them that I love them also give them that I love them very much. M
Don't think so. See wikipedia. Anything about his religion? A Muslim should be recognized as Muslim from far away, that he is Muslim. By dress, practice, beard etc. But does he look like western/European, more than a practicing Muslim? Does not sound much modern, right? And sure - yes, "what do I know"? Allah knows the best.
