About this product

Product Information

From the Nobel Prize winner and acclaimed author of My Name is Red --a brilliantly unconventional mystery of a missing wife, and a provocative meditation on identity. "A glorious flight of dark, fantastic invention." -- The Washington Post Galip is a lawyer living in Istanbul. His wife, the detective novel-loving Ruya, has disappeared. Could she have left him for her ex-husband or Cel'l, a popular newspaper columnist? But Cel'l, too, seems to have vanished. As Galip investigates, he finds himself assuming the enviable Cel'l's identity, wearing his clothes, answering his phone calls, even writing his columns. Galip pursues every conceivable clue, but the nature of the mystery keeps changing, and when he receives a death threat, he begins to fear the worst. With its cascade of beguiling stories about Istanbul, The Black Book is a brilliantly unconventional mystery, and a provocative meditation on identity. For Turkish literary readers it is the cherished cult novel in which Orhan Pamuk found his original voice, but it has largely been neglected by English-language readers. Now, in Maureen Freely's beautiful translation, they, too, may encounter all its riches. A Translation and Afterword by Maureen Freely

  • Pamuk's The Black Book is unlike anything you've read!!

    Not to use a lot of platitudes, but this book is one of intrigue, edge of your seat suspense, and all around amazing writing-- it's the kind of thing that's so rare to find in the literary world: a popular work that takes your breath away! Columbo is Columbo, Nancy Drew (though one of my faves) is still Nancy at a distance. Orhan Pamuk's Galip is something altogether different. We're inside his head--every bit of self-doubt, loathing, recrimination--every bit of passionate love! And Pamuk is an award winning author who deserves each and every accolade he's received. Turkish history is recorded here in such a way that the reader comes away educated without feeling as though they've sat through anything tedious. And as gimmicks go, the every-other-chapter newspaper column is so stylistic ...
