At the age of 23, Orhan Pamuk knew he could never be anything but a writer. Years of solitary existence and hard work paid off when his first novel, Cevdet Bey and His Sons, was awarded two literary prizes. The Turkish writer has since emerged as a powerful voice for his country in all its richness and complexities.

Every novel Pamuk has written has received international acclaim and awards, culminating with the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2006. Additionally, his books have been translated into 58 languages. In an absorbing interview with Robert Siegel, Senior Host of NPR’s All Things Considered, Pamuk discusses his career, what inspires his work, and how his life has changed.

Pamuk’s books include The White Castle, Snow, The Black Book, and My Name Is Red. His new book, The Museum of Innocence (Alfred A. Knopf), is available for signing after the program.
