Other Colours

Other Colours is a collection of the best pieces from twenty years of writing from Orhan Pamuk, the winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature.

A collection of immediate relevance and timeless value, ranging from lyrical autobiography to criticism of literature and culture, from humour to political analysis, from delicate evocations of Pamuk's friendship with his daughter Ruya to provocative discussions of Eastern and Western art.

'Wonderfully readable, a joy to dip into.' Joseph O'Connor, Irish Sunday Independent

From the internationally bestselling writer Orhan Pamuk, a personal selection from twenty-five years of writing, including his Nobel Prize speech and an original short story.

Reflections on his successful struggle to quit smoking, his anxiety at testifying in court, his first trip to Europe and his father's death are accompanied by Pamuk's own black and white drawings. By turns witty, moving, playful and provocative, Other Colours glows with the energy of a master at work.
