Author Orhan Pamuk

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the goals of the proposed research are to discuss Pamuk's literature, themes, critiques and reception in Turkey, the United States and the United Kingdom including sales figures. The author points out that Pamuk is supremely interested not only in the significance and meaning of his works but also in the meta-fictional understanding of his work through his characters' relations to other fictional texts within his original text. The paper relates that, whereas for most writers a novel begins to grow and to take life during the process of writing, this process for Orhan Pamuk is merely the stage execution of an already highly perfected design. Outline of proposal included.

From the Paper:

"By means of introduction, what allows us to immediately discern Orhan Pamuk's works from most other Turkish writers' is that for him the process of writing is actually a veritable mode of existence. This is not to say that Orhan Pamuk is necessarily a greater pundit of the writing profession than his colleagues - it is not so much a matter of the degree of commitment, but rather the form of his dedication to writing. These observations are expressed in Pamuk's method of defining, limiting and specifying himself as "a writer," in the greatest priority. Indeed, for the majority of scribes, writing is a mode self-expression, maintain as a method to cope with life's extreme and a reality that is not necessarily ideal, and, from these, a supreme attempt to create and induce significance through semiotics."
