This is a marvelous book.
Hi veg ... have you read "Snow" ? I thought that was very good, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "marvelous" book ... how does "Red" compare?
A couple months ago I went to the store to buy "Snow", I think it was this summer, but I was a week early for the paperback publication; so I bought "My Name Is Red" instead. While Pamuk has a powerful imagination, I found after "...Red," I had lost interest in reading "Snow." Even when I saw it at the library I passed it up. It's the overwrought emotions that bother me. Reading the book ("Red") was exhausting. And all that angst was expended on what were for me non-issues. The characters all came across as adolescents, even the old men.
You wouldn't like "Snow" then, it has some of the same issues. .
