Why don't you like Orhan Pamuk, /lit/? Haven't you

Because The White Castle was boring and mediocre and even though it was just his first novel there wasn't anything in his prose that encouraged me to read the rest of his books.

Try Snow or again, his memoir.

I really wanted to like him. I read The Black Book, and I found it to be dull and pointless. The premise behind The Museum of Innocence sounded intriguing to me, but the story, characters, etc. didn't at all, and neither it nor anything else of his have compelled me to skip all the other stuff on my to-read list and try him again.

He's a pretentious bitch.

If you didn't like the Black Book, you probably won't like My Name is Red, but as I recommended above, you might like Snow or Istanbul: Memories of the City

What other Turkish authors are worth reading? Preferably those who have been translated into English, I don't speak much Turkish.

What do you think of "İnce Memed"?
Is it worth a read?

>>8725274

I haven't seen anything written by Turks that is worth reading.

Not even Selim the Grim's poetry?
