«Me llamo Rojo» is the historical mystery novel by Orhan Pamuk, published by Alfaguara in paperback (568 pages, in Spanish).
In sixteenth-century Istanbul, the sultan's desire to commission a book of illustrations clashes with the Islamic prohibition on depicting human figures. After the mysterious disappearance of one of the artists, the plot combines mystery with stories of love, jealousy, and disputes over art, faith, and identity in the Ottoman Empire.
The novel was originally published in Turkish in 1998 under the title Benim Adım Kırmızı; the Spanish translation is by Rafael Carpintero Ortega. In 2003 it received the Dublin Literary Award.
Aimed at readers of historical and mystery fiction, especially those interested in the Ottoman Empire, miniature art, and Turkish literature.
