Synopsis "The new Life "

The protagonist of Orhan Pamuk's fiendishly engaging novel is launched into a world of hypnotic texts and (literally) Byzantine conspiracies that whirl across the steppes and forlorn frontier towns of Turkey. And with The New Life, Pamuk himself vaults from the forefront of his country's writers into the arena of world literature. Through the single act of reading a book, a young student is uprooted from his old life and identity. Within days he has fallen in love with the luminous and elusive Janan; witnessed the attempted assassination of a rival suitor; and forsaken his family to travel aimlessly through a nocturnal landscape of traveler's cafes and apocalyptic bus wrecks. As imagined by Pamuk, the result is a wondrous marriage of the intellectual thriller and high romance. Translated from the Turkish by Guneli Gun."[A] weird, hypnotic new novel...It veers from intellectual conundrums in the Borges vein to rapturous lyricism reminiscent of Gabriel Garcia Marquez."--Wall Street Journal

Orhan Pamuk es un novelista turco galardonado con el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 2006. Nacido en Estambul en 1952, creció en una familia secular y acomodada, una experiencia que influyó en su exploración de la identidad turca y el choque entre Oriente y Occidente. Aunque inicialmente estudió arquitectura, la abandonó a los 23 años para dedicarse por completo a la escritura.
Su fama internacional creció con novelas como El castillo blanco (1985) y El libro negro (1990). En 2003, ganó el Premio Internacional IMPAC por Me llamo Rojo. La Academia Sueca le otorgó el Nobel "en la búsqueda del alma melancólica de su ciudad natal, [Pamuk] ha descubierto nuevos símbolos para el choque y el entrelazamiento de las culturas".
A lo largo de su carrera, ha defendido la libertad de expresión, lo que lo llevó a enfrentar cargos en su país por hacer comentarios sobre la masacre de un millón de armenios, los cuales fueron desestimados en 2006. Además de escritor, ha enseñado en prestigiosas universidades estadounidenses. Su obra, traducida a más de 60 idiomas, lo ha convertido en el novelista turco más conocido de su generación.
