About This Book
The protagonist of Orhan Pamuk's fiendishly engaging novel is launched
into a world of hypnotic texts and (literally) Byzantine conspiracies
that whirl across the steppes and forlorn frontier towns of Turkey. And
with The New Life, Pamuk himself vaults from the forefront of his
country's writers into the arena of world literature. Through the single
act of reading a book, a young student is uprooted from his old life and
identity. Within days he has fallen in love with the luminous and
elusive Janan; witnessed the attempted assassination of a rival suitor;
and forsaken his family to travel aimlessly through a nocturnal
landscape of traveler's cafes and apocalyptic bus wrecks. As imagined by
Pamuk, the result is a wondrous marriage of the intellectual thriller
and high romance. Translated from the Turkish by Guneli Gun.
"[A] weird, hypnotic new novel...It veers from intellectual conundrums
in the Borges vein to rapturous lyricism reminiscent of Gabriel Garcia
Marquez."--Wall Street Journal
