Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A haunting parable about love, literature and fanaticism, and the fastest selling book in Turkish history. Previously compared to Borges and Calvino, Pamuk takes us on a journey into the arid heatland of Turkey and into lost provincial towns where danger lurks on every corner. "A head on collision between Ballard's "Crash" and Hesse's "Siddhartha"." "Literary Review".
