Chekhov's Mistress
It’s Frustrating, You Know…
that so many poets and novelists I like are Nobel laureates because it seems so mainstream of me. Yet, add another to the list since the prize was awarded today to Orhan Pamuk “who in the quest for the melancholic soul of his native city has discovered new symbols for the clash and interlacing of cultures.”
See James Marcus’s report from Pamuk’s speech at the Pen World Voices Festival earlier this year.
See Dean’s recent review of My Name is Red.
M.A. Orthofer had the early odds on Pamuk (yet declaring him too young), but see his post today for some of his past reviews of Pamuk’s books and more reports on the Nobel.
