Turkish Writer Wins 2006 Nobel Literature Prize
Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk wins the Nobel literature prize. Pamuk, 54, gained international acclaim for books including Snow, Istanbul and My Name Is Red. But he has also earned notoriety for legal troubles over his comments on Turkey's past.

I've only read The Black Book (and it was great) but know that Pamuk's a well-deserving recipient of the prize & will make a point of reading more of his works. I think in much of his writing he weaves intricate tales of East meets West and past influences on present day life. I've also heard that his recent book Istanbul includes some great photos and paintings. Does our library have a copy??
