Orhan Pamuk (born 1952) is a Turkish novelist and recipient of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature. His work often explores Istanbul, memory, and cultural encounters between East and West.

Themes in his work include art, memory, and the tensions between Eastern and Western cultural traditions. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2006.

The available review praises Pamuk's My Name Is Red for its depth of character and thematic exploration of art and East–West encounters. The novel's pace is described as slow and demanding of reader attention. Pamuk uses multiple first-person voices and unusual narrators (objects, colors) to build a complex mosaic. Recommended for readers willing to invest time in a challenging historical novel.

For:Readers of literary and historical fiction; those interested in Ottoman art, narrative experimentation, and East–West cultural encounters.

 The novel I want to talk about today is not exactly a leisurely stroll through the city center on a mild spring Sunday afternoon; on the contrary, it resembles more of a hike at altitude.
