This subject is not really relevant to SF/F in any direct way, but indirectly it is. Orhan Pamuk is a turkish writer who recently won the Nobel Prize for literature and justly I might add. I highly recommend two of his works: 'Snow' and 'The Black Book'. I have read them both and am currently reading 'My Name is Red'. The writing style is captivating and the stories are both insightful and relevant. Check them out after devouring the your latest SF work and let me know what you think of him!

Location: Irving, TX		How is it indirectly related to SF/F? Are there some fantastical elements to the plotline?

Location: Out there (truly)		some of Pamuk's books have 'religious fantasy' elements to them...fascinatingly so in light of current world issues
