KEYNOTE: Orhan Pamuk: The Museum of Innocence
5 p.m., Old South Church Sanctuary.
Recipient of the 2006 Nobel Prize for Literature, Orhan Pamuk has written, “I regret that I have not been able to shake off the enlightenment utilitarian idea that books exist to prepare us for life.” Pamuk’s new novel, The Museum of Innocence, his first since winning the Nobel Prize, is described as “a stirring exploration of the nature of romantic attachment and the mysterious allure of collecting.” Pamuk talks about literature, love, and life. Hosted by commentator Christopher Lydon. Co-sponsored by PEN New England and the New York Review of Books.
