Orhan Pamuk
Description
Refuting any connection with overt political goals, Turkish novelist and Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk aims to create stories "as a child, not knowing where I am going next." Yet few writers in the Islamic world are more closely associated with political strife or have sparked as much street-level anger. This program features an interview with the world-renowned author in his Istanbul office, bringing to light his insights into art, oppression, and the interaction between East and West. Subjects include the role of storytelling in shaping human values, Pamuk's depiction of Islamic teenagers in the novel Snow, and his reaction to Don DeLillo's assertions about the relevance of violence and terror.
