"Letters from an Old Empire" - Orhan Pamuk
Turkey is a nation of many things: the so-called gate way between east and west, descendant of the Ottoman empire, aspiring EU nation, a muslim nation that is also reputed to be one of the largest recievers of US military aid, a nation where discussion of its genocide of the Armenian peoples is still taboo. It is also home to an author named Orhan Pamuk, the 2006 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
"Caught in the cultural clash between east and west, Pamuk struggles to balance his political beliefs and astonishing international literary success in a way modern Turkey can accept"
