Orhan Pamuk is a famous Turkish writer, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2006, the author of the books “My Name is Red”, “Snow”, “Istanbul. City of Memories”, “Museum of Innocence” and many others.
In The Naive and Sentimental Writer, based on Harvard lectures, Pamuk invites the reader into the world of his favorite novels to try to unravel the mystery of the enduring charm of authentic literature. Pamuk proposes to divide writers (and readers) into two categories: “naive” (able to immerse themselves in the text with their heads, without regard to the technique of writing and the personality of the author) and “sentimental” (thoughtful, reflective, incredulous). We are waiting for the writer and his characters, the concepts of fiction and plot, questions about what time is and what it means to “see”; we will visit museums and, perhaps, as happens in real novels, we will find ourselves in amazing places, the existence of which we did not know.
