Orhan Pamuk
Nobel prize-winning Turkish author. His lush settings are reflected in the powerful emotional landscapes he creates with his characters. No one seems to do or feel anything by halves in his novels - even their apathy is vividly coloured by their surroundings.
"A letter doesn't communicate by words alone. A letter, just like a book, can be read by smelling it, touching it and fondling it. Thereby, intelligent folk will say, 'Go on then, read what the letter tells you!' whereas the dull-witted will say, 'Go on then, read what he's written!'"
"Books, which we mistake for consolation, only add depth to our sorrow. " -- from My Name Is Red
