Orhan Pamuk, My Name is Red, 6.
Right now I am captivated by the works of Orhan Pamuk. Pamuk is a professor of literature at Columbia University and the only Turk to receive a Nobel Prize. Right now I am reading My Name is Red which is a murder mystery that takes place during the Ottoman Empire. Each chapter is written from a different perspective, often very unlikely ones at that. So far, it's been great. Once I finish this book I am moving on to his more recent work, Snow.

At first glance, I thought the title of this post was "Orphan Punk."
