He opens a window on his private life, from his boyhood dislike of school to his daughter's precocious melancholy, from his successful struggle to quit smoking to his anxiety at the prospect of testifying against some clumsy muggers who fell upon him during a visit to New York City. From ordinary obligations such as applying for a passport or sharing a holiday meal with relatives, he takes extraordinary flights of imagination; in extreme moments, such as the terrifying days following a cataclysmic earthquake in Istanbul, he lays bare our most basic hopes and fears. Again and again Pamuk declares his faith in fiction, engaging the work of such predecessors as Laurence Sterne and Fyodor Dostoyevsky, sharing fragments from his notebooks, and commenting on his own novels. He contemplates his mysterious compulsion to sit alone at a desk and dream, always returning to the rich deliverance that is reading and writing. \u003cbr\u003eBy turns witty, moving, playful, and provocative, \" Other Colors\" glows with the energy of a master at work and gives us the world through his eyes, assigning every radiant theme and shifting mood its precise shade in the spectrum of significance.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Other Colors: Essays and a Story | Orhan Pamuk | Hardcover | 0307266753 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks B 1756289","offer_id":49147096301720,"sku":"1756289","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71qMhGUz_xL.jpg?v=1779472971","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/other-colors-essays-and-a-story","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
