The Black Book

by: Orhan Pamuk (author)

The Black Book is Orhan Pamuk's tour de force, a stunning tapestry of Middle Eastern and Islamic culture which confirmed his reputation as a writer of international stature. Richly atmospheric and Rabelaisian in scope, it is a labyrinthine novel suffused with the sights, sounds and scents of Istanbul, an unforgettable evocation of the city where East meets West, and a boldly unconventional mystery that plumbs the elusive nature of identity, fiction, interpretation and reality.

En el país de los derrotados y lo...

I'd like to give this book 3.5. It's really an interesting book, and a very rich one which could be analyzed to death. But - it didn't grab me, I couldn't not put it down, etc., and some parts of it were a bit tedious. I will remember it though! Also, extra points for the structure of the book!

This is going to the unfinished pile. The writing style is too dense, and I just don't have the patience to plow through it right now. Also, the chapters alternate between the not-so-straightforward narrative and newspaper columns, and after the first such column I just wanted to skip them all.
