![]() ![]() So rather than following the progression of this Nobel prize winning Turkish novelist in his development as a writer and an extra-ordinary chronicler of our times, we take a step back and pick up a piece missed out from the sequence and see another episode unfold.Īs the publication of this novel in English follows Pamuk’s later and better-known novels, it is inevitable that it will be judged against them. Following in the wake of the magnificent and heart-wrenching The Museum of Innocence, Silent House is actually Pamuk’s second novel. Yet it will not disappoint his ardent fans, such as myself. It is not a new novel, though, just translated into English for the first time. Many years ago, when a novel called Snow gained international recognition and fame, the celebrated Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood was among those who greeted it with enthusiasm: “Snow is the latest entry,” she wrote, “in Pamuk’s long-time project: narrating his country into being.” The latest addition to this project is Pamuk’s Silent House. ![]()
