![]() ![]() People of Kars, the real people, today, hate Orhan Pamuk. Kars is a real city, at the East (North East) of Turkey. : actual happenings in Kars or elsewhere? ![]() ![]() : – Are the events in the novel based to any extent on Turkey itself is only about a third that size, so where are all the other Turkish-speaking people? – I saw somewhere, perhaps in the Pamuk interview linked from a previous posting, that a quarter of a billion people speak Turkish. How much has the political situation in Turkey changed since then? – How accurately and fairly does the author depict the social and political conditions at that place and time? – Are the events in the novel based to any extent on actual happenings in Kars or elsewhere? I’ll withhold comment until others are ready to discuss, but I do have some non-spoiler questions for those who are more familiar with the author and the subject matter: ![]()
