Sorry, I never read any of his books. Also I knew nothing about him except that he won the Nobel Prize in literature. I was wondering what Turkey thought about him after he won the most prestige award.

Was he expatriated by Turkey? 

I guess some of his writing attacked the Turkish goverment so he is in exile now.

Hi i am can from Turkey. Orhan Pamuk is a really perfect writer i think u should get one of his books and read it and when you feel the emotion you will see that i am right. But as u said, some Turkish people dont like him even hate him. They are looking the situation from different views.Orhan Pamuk is a socialist but people should interest with his job, (not his views).Anyway somebody realized his succeed and gived him biggest award.

thanks for give a place for Orhan Pamuk in this forum.
