From the internationally acclaimed and Man Booker Prize-winning
author of The Sea and the Benjamin Black mysteries--a
vividly evocative memoir that unfolds around the author's
recollections, experience, and imaginings of Dublin.
As much about the life of the city as it is about a life lived, sometimes, in the city, John Banville's "quasi-memoir" is as layered, emotionally rich, witty, and unexpected as any of his novels.

A New Translation and Afterword by Maureen Freely
Galip is a lawyer living in Istanbul. His wife, the
detective novel–loving Ruya, has disappeared. Could she have
left him for her ex-husband or Celâl, a popular newspaper
columnist.
The protagonist of Orhan Pamuk's fiendishly engaging novel is
launched into a world of hypnotic texts and (literally) Byzantine
conspiracies that whirl across the steppes and forlorn frontier
towns of Turkey. And with The New Life, Pamuk himself vaults
from the forefront of his country's writers into the arena of world
literature.
In the three decades that Nobel prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk
has devoted himself to writing fiction, he has also produced scores
of witty, moving, and provocative essays and articles. He engages
the work of Nabokov, Kundera, Rushdie, and Vargas Llosa, among
others, and he discusses his own books and writing process.
From a Turkish writer who has been compared with Borges, Nabokov,
and DeLillo comes a dazzling novel that is at once a captivating
work of historical fiction and a sinuous treatise on the enigma of
identity and the relations between East and West. In the 17th
century, a young Italian scholar sailing from Venice to Naples is
taken prisoner and delivered to Constantinople.
From the Nobel Prize-winning novelist, an inspired, thoughtful, and
deeply personal book about reading and writing novels.
In this fascinating set of essays, based on the talks he delivered at Harvard University as part of the distinguished Norton Lecture series, Pamuk presents a comprehensive and provocative theory of the novel and the experience of reading.
