Orhan Pamuk wins Nobel Prize thanks to translation
|
 Stockholm, Sweden (AP): Renowned Turkish novelist and essayist Orhan Pamuk, who, in the words of the jury, "in the quest for the melancholic soul of his native city has discovered new symbols for the clash and interlacing of cultures," has been awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize for literature.
Pamuk is best known outside his own country for his two most recent novels - My Name is Red (2000) and Snow (2002, English translation 2004). Orhan Pamuk's work has been translated by Maureen Freely, V. Holbrook, G. Gun, and Erdag Goknar.
