Description

In over thirty interviews conducted between 1982 and 2022, Conversations with Orhan Pamuk reveals a writer of intense literary and political engagement.

Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk (b. 1952) is a foremost practitioner of the global novel today. His books have been translated into over sixty languages and sold over fifteen million copies globally.

The interviews in this volume open windows onto Pamuk s everyday life, craft, and process, constituting an alternative literary history that provides insights into the novelist s influences, method, form, and content. These conversations reveal that a Pamuk novel is predicated on methodical research, at times archival and scholarly, investigative and journalistic, or ethnographic. They are necessarily instructive and edifying as much as they are entertaining, providing a discursive space of literary history where writing, politics, and the everyday intersect and where the politics of literature can be located.

About the Author

Erdag Göknar is Associate Professor of Turkish and Middle East Studies at Duke University and an award-winning translator. His translation of Orhan Pamuk s historical novel MY NAME IS RED won the International Dublin Literary Award (2003), marking Pamuk s emergence as an author of world literature and contributing to his selection as Nobel laureate (2006). The best selling novel was reissued in 2010 as part of the Everyman s Library Contemporary Classics series. Göknar is also the translator of A.H. Tanpinar s iconic novel of Istanbul, A MIND AT PEACE, and Atiq Rahimi s anti-war novella set in Afghanistan, EARTH AND ASHES. His critical literary study, ORHAN PAMUK, SECULARISM, AND BLASPHEMY: THE POLITICS OF THE TURKISH NOVEL (Routledge 2013), argues that the productive tension between Turkish Islam and state secularism give Pamuk s work currency as world literature. Göknar s poetry collection, NOMADOLOGIES (Turtle Point 2017), engages themes of Turkish-American diaspora.
