This book combines those notebooks into one volume. He writes about his travels around the world, his family, his writing process, and his complex relationship with his home country of Turkey. He charts the seeds of his novels and the things that inspired his characters and the plots of his stories. Intertwined in his writings are the vibrant paintings of the landscapes that surround and inspire him. A beautiful object in its own right, in Memories of Distant Mountains readers can explore Pamuk's intoxicating inner world and can have a fascinating, intimate encounter with the art, culture, and charged political currents that have shaped one of literature's most important voices.Format:HardcoverAuthor:Orhan PamukIllustrator:YesItem Height:1.4 inNumber of Pages:384 PagesIntended Audience:TradeGenre:Art, Language Arts & Disciplines, Literary CollectionsReviews:"Pictures of a writer's days. . . . An intimate volume revealing glimpses of his life and work. . . . Although he gave up artwork in favor of writing, he still finds pleasure in combining both, as did William Blake. . . . Some illustrations, glowing with pinks, greens, and yellows, evoke Matisse. In slashes of black and grey, Pamuk captures the dark mysteries of seascapes; in other drawings, he tries to convey the quality of his dreams. . . . A lyrical illuminated memoir." -- Kirkus Reviews
