The black Book

I'm relishing "The Black Book", a wonderful novel by Orhan Pamuk. Though these days, I'm as busy as hell with writing a paper (sic) using the field data I've collected (have I told you people ever that I'm doing PhD in Economics), I still manage to revitalise myself with some good book like this one. Wait for its detailed review...it will come soon.

This book is provided to me again by Prof. Roy, who is my oasis in this otherwise parched desert (as for as literature is concerned). Long live Prof. Roy..and so to Orhan (And Orhan! keep writing).

SNOW

“The Snow”:
Blood dripping from a broken heart…over the snow…in a world which is as cold and indifferent as snow…!
A must for all those who have ever loved anyone…
KA, a true poet, an unfortunate lover, a loner, and in the end, a looser…spent the three most valuable days of his life doing things for others, though inadvertently, working as a negotiator, as a lover who longs for the company of Ipek simply for happiness, as a person who was made to witness some untoward incidents and even to become a part of them. Actually, KA had died in Kars itself when Ipek fails to show up at the train to Germany. Only, it was a matter of time that he was shot up after four years.
Ipek is a woman who can never love anyone but herself.

"Snow" is a personal tragedy, brilliantly interwoven in background of socio-political-religious turmoil. A man gets nothing from his love but sorrow...!

I would have missed a great experience if haven’t read this novel…thanks to Prof. Roy who provided this book to me.
