Collecting articles from Pamuk's Norton Lectures at Harvard University, the author discusses his creative process as a novelist, the relationship between fiction and reality in novels, the way novels produce effects on readers, and other topics. The title comes from Schiller's classic distinction between two different literary styles: "naive" and "sentimental." Pamuk came to his own conclusion in a dialogue with Schiller's literary concepts: Novelists are both naive and sentimental, and novel creation is to achieve a certain balance between that intuitive, simple naivety and reflective, deconstructive sentimentality. Pamuk also elaborated on a point throughout the book in these articles, that is, the difference between modern novels and ancient literature (such as epics) is that novels must have a center, and all the details in the book should point to this center. This center is the meaning of the novel, or the meaning of life itself, that can be slowly approached and experienced during reading.
