About This Book
At once a fiendishly devious mystery, a beguiling love story, and a brilliant
symposium on the power of art, My Name Is Red is a transporting tale set amid
the splendor and religious intrigue of sixteenth-century Istanbul, from one of
the most prominent contemporary Turkish writers.
The Sultan has commissioned a cadre of the most acclaimed artists in the land to
create a great book celebrating the glories of his realm. Their task: to
illuminate the work in the European style. But because figurative art can be
deemed an affront to Islam, this commission is a dangerous proposition indeed.
The ruling elite therefore mustn’t know the full scope or nature of the project,
and panic erupts when one of the chosen miniaturists disappears. The only clue
to the mystery–or crime? –lies in the half-finished illuminations themselves.
Part fantasy and part philosophical puzzle, My Name is Red is a kaleidoscopic
journey to the intersection of art, religion, love, sex and power.
