About This Novel
Nobel Prize winner Pamuk's novel, which he loved but also caused controversy for, was selected as one of the top ten best books of the year by the New York Times and won France's Medici Prize for Foreign Fiction. The story took place over four days and four nights in 1992. The protagonist Ka, a sentimental poet, travels around the remote Turkish town of Kars under the guise of a reporter. Heavy snow blocked the road, and all traffic from Kars to the outside was cut off. The snow falls relentlessly, gunshots ring out on the stage, and Kars is plunged into a military coup. Modernity and tradition, politics and culture... These conflicts divide the people of Karls City into two poles. The atmosphere of the entire town is full of depression, anger, conspiracy and violence. Love stories, murders, historical entanglements and conflicts are all condensed into this isolated town.
