«Snow» is Orhan Pamuk's political fiction novel, published by Bloomsbury in paperback (440 pages, in English).
The exiled poet Ka returns to Istanbul for his mother's funeral and travels to Kars, near the border, to cover the municipal elections. Isolated by snowfall, the city lives in a strained atmosphere: suicides of young women, Islamists about to win, and military trying to stop them; there Ka reunites with Ipek.
The English translation is by Maureen Freely and the Turkish original, «Kar», was published in 2002. Orhan Pamuk received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2006.
For readers of literary and political fiction with an interest in Turkish history and society and in the work of Orhan Pamuk.
