Orhan Pamuk

Orhan Pamuk won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006 and the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award for My Name Is Red in 2003. His new novel, The Museum of Innocence, his first since winning the Nobel, is described as "a stirring exploration of the nature of romantic attachment and the mysterious allure of collecting." At Boston Book Festival 2009's keynote presentation, Orhan Pamuk read from and discussed his new work. Co-sponsored by PEN New England and The New York Review of Books.
