Pallavi Narayan, Pamuk’s Istanbul: The Self and The City (London: Routledge, 2022)

Year 2023, Issue: 5, 199 - 201, 18.10.2023

Abstract

Orhan Pamuk üzerine yazılan kitaplar çoğalıyor ve son on yıldır -Nobel Ödülü'nü kazanmasının ardından- Türkiye'de, uluslararası saygınlığı aynı düzeyde olmayan yazarlara (Ahmed Hamdi Tanpınar, Sevgi Soysal, Sait Faik, Tezer Özlü, bunlardan sadece birkaçı) odaklanma yönünde giderek artan bir hareket var. Yine de Pallavi Narayan'ın monografisi Pamuk'u ve kenti ana tema olarak seçiyor ve bazı yaklaşımlar benimsenmemiş olsa da Nobel ödüllü yazar hakkında söyleyecek yeni bir şeyler bulmayı bir ölçüde başarıyor.

Abstract

There is a proliferation of books on Orhan Pamuk, and over the past ten years or so – in the wake of his Nobel Prize win – a growing movement within Turkey to concentrate on writers who have not enjoyed anywhere near the same level of international prestige (Ahmed Hamdi Tanpınar, Sevgi Soysal, Sait Faik, Tezer Özlü, to name but a handful). Nevertheless, Pallavi Narayan’s monograph chooses Pamuk and the urban as its central theme, and to some extent succeeds in finding something new to say about the Nobel laureate, even if some approaches are left unadopted.
