Pamuk on the value of translation
|
 Istanbul, Turkey (Zaman): On arriving in Istanbul, Nobel Prize-winning Turkish author Orhan Pamuk underlined the significance of the Cairo Book Fair in bridging the Turkish and Arabic cultures, as well as the importance of translating books between the two languages. He said, "Maybe this Nobel Prize will contribute to that, God willing. Six or seven of my books have been translated into Arabic and they are going to be re-released. With support of the Egyptian Ministry of Culture, my other novels will be translated soon. There is huge interest in all aspects of Turkish literature and culture. I hope the reciprocal works continue."
