Part political thriller, part absurdist farce, part love story, Orhan Pamuk's second novel to appear in an Everyman edition has a contemporary setting - a remote Turkish city where Eastern and Western values overlap and collide.
Orhan Pamuk, one of the world's major living novelists, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1996.
Snow is an in-depth tour of the divided, hopeful, desolate,
mystifying Turkish soul. Not only an engrossing feat of
tale-spinning, but essential reading for our times.
*Margaret Atwood*
A major work ... conscience-ridden and carefully wrought, tonic in
its scope, candour and humour ... In Turkey, to write with honest
complexity about such matters as head scarves and religious belief
takes courage.
*John Updike*
