About the Book

A collection of immediate relevance and timeless value, Other Colours ranges from lyrical autobiography to criticism of literature and culture, from humour to political analysis, from delicate evocations of his friendship with his daughter Ruya to provocative discussions of Eastern and Western art. Reflections on Pamuk's first passport, his first trip to Europe, his father's death, his recent court case, and the Istanbul earthquake share with pieces on writers as various as Laurence Sterne, Dostoyevsky, Kundera, Rushdie, and Patricia Highsmith. There are additional sections on Istanbul, New York - where Pamuk lived for two years - and on the writing of each of his novels. Interspersed among these are photographs, paintings, some of Pamuk's own black and white drawings, as well as 'Looking Out the Window', a short story originally published in Granta.

About the Author :
Orhan Pamuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2006, is the author of many books, including The White Castle and The Black Book. In 2003 he won the International IMPAC Award for My Name is Red, and in 2004 Faber published the translation of his novel Snow, which Margaret Atwood called 'essential reading for our times'. Istanbul, a memoir of his life in the city, was shortlisted for the BBC FOUR Samuel Johnson Prize.

Review :
"Pamuk is that rarest of creatures, a fabulist of ideas...In "Other Colors,.".Pamuk gives us several of his many selves in a centrifugal gathering of memory-pieces, sketches, interviews and unexpected flights...[that] feel more like a rich and suggestive set of explorations...His books are, really celebrations of multiplicity...the mysteries they set up are always more delicious than any attempt to solve them...Yet mostly what this collection gives us...is a chance to savor one of the inimitable literary storytellers of our time...Pamuk is taking the world we thought we knew and making it fresh and alive." - Pico Iyer, "New York Times Book Review" "He is the poet of the labyrinth of his own thoughts and conceits, of the fabulous and the gently ambiguous." - Colin Thubron, "The New York Review" "what emerges...is a voice, part playful and part deadly, whose refracted reality a real nightingale might envy." - Richard Eder, "Los Angeles Times Book Review" ""Other Colors" is composed of shrewdly arranged occasional pieces, fragments from journals and other miscellany, edited and at times rewritten to form a remarkably cohesive picture of a literary man...Beyond its clever charm and its wise observations "Other Colors" is a plea to stand back and consider the historical and psychological causes of today's alarming headlines." - Roger Kaplan, "Washington Post Book World" "From the Hardcover edition."
