I need to start my own personal campaign to get a "couldn't finish it" rating. I feel I'm being misleading by giving a book a rating I didn't finish. I especially feel guilty when the author is Orhan Pamuk. He's so well respected...he's won the Nobel Prize, Norman Mailer Award...on and on. I REALLY wanted to like this. I will say this is the only book of his I've ever read. And, it's one of his very early works, newly translated into English for the first time.That being said, I gave it 100I always regret waiting so long to read the next Orhan pamuk book on my list! He never disappoints!This one is an absolute favourite (though nothing beats Museum of Innocence, and Snow) .... He takes the reader to a tumultuous time in the History of modern Turkey, rich n human bound depiction of the cultural and identity crisis that permeates the nation's minds and souls represented by an obsessive dr working for decades on an encyclopedia that he means to use a tool to awaken his "sleeping"
I don't know why I waited so long to revisit Orhan Pamuk! Both My Name is Red and Snow have stayed with me for many years. The conflicts of an extended family in Silent House mirror the political and social world of 1980 Turkey. Pamuk is especially brilliant at capturing the self-destructive psyche of the male cousins. A terrifying and sad novel.
I must be missing something vital - in translation? in theme? Because this was the second book of Orhan Pamuk in as many weeks that I had zero (possibly negative) appreciation for. Granted, this is a translation of a very old book and Snow is a fairly recent graduate of the Pamuk alum. But, many of the themes that bothered me in Snow, bothered me here too. I'll come to that in a minute.Silent House is a story of a Turkish family headed by an old (highly loathsome) grandmother, Fatma. She's ill
Turkeys on-going modernization, real estate boom, and politics are the focus of this story, set in a small Turkish seaside city, we guess, around the 1970s. The book was originally published in Turkey in 1983. The plot is that three adult grandchildren make their obligatory annual summer visit to their 90 year-old grandmother. The grandmother is crotchety and demanding especially to her live-in servant whom she alternately calls the dwarf or the bastard, the latter because he is a child of her
When I first started reading Orhan Pamuk's books I really struggledand ended up abandoning Snow and My Name Is Read!!!!!!!It just seemed to complex and I couldn't follow at all really.But after reading Museum Of Innocence I really enjoyed this bookand started to feel I was understanding this great writers work.Now I have finished Silent House....which I really loved!Now I really do want to go back and read his books that i have abandoned.Silent House just captivated me!The characters were really
This book has a lot of characters to focus on which can make it tiring in the course of reading. For me, I wanted to hear more about Selahattin, his questionings and clashes and also Recep as well. The first 50 pages were more flowing for me (before the grandchildren got involved) and I found some of their personal stories uninteresting.There are memorable quotes in the book as well like theres no way to express history, or even life as it is, in words! the only solution would be to transform
