Orhan Pamuk is in town for a talk. The author of My Name is Red now edges on being the voice of Turkish fiction in the west, and certainly has a lot to say about seemingly everything and anything. Come downtown as the Nobel-winning Columbia Professor sits down at the Japanese American Community Center for what is warming up to be a fun event with a great mind.
From the Japanese Cultural and Community Center: "In announcing the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature, the Swedish Academy said of Orhan Pamuk: his "quest for the melancholic soul of his native city, Istanbul, led him to discover new symbols for the clash and interlacing of cultures." Pamuk reads from his new novel, The Museum of Innocence, and discusses his life and work with writer and scholar Reza Aslan."
