I decided to start this thread because I am always arguing with people in Turkey about Orhan Pamuk.And I want to learn your comments about him!!!
Now I am reading ''Snow'' one of his best books.When my friends see me reading it they say ''Are you really reading'' Snow''?He is a traitor of his country.He recognizes Armenian Genocide.And they add:''Are you also a traitor and think like him?''I say ''Yes,I think like him,because he is a hero being brave enough to say the truths.''And I see the anger in their eyes.
Also I can't read his books in public.Because there are so many racist Turks who can attack me just because of reading his books.I am also hiding his books in school because teachers can give me lower marks if they see.(most of them)So I can say living in Turkey is hard.
Here some information about him:
