SUMMARY:
Dread, yearning, identity, intrigue, the lethal chemistry between secular doubt and Islamic fanaticism–these are the elements that Orhan Pamuk anneals in this masterful, disquieting novel. An exiled poet named Ka returns to Turkey and travels to the forlorn city of Kars. His ostensible purpose is to report on a wave of suicides among religious girls forbidden to wear their head-scarves. But Ka is also drawn by his memories of the radiant Ipek, now recently divorced. Amid blanketing snowfall and universal suspicion, Ka finds himself pursued by figures ranging from Ipek’s ex-husband to a charismatic terrorist. A lost gift returns with ecstatic suddenness. A theatrical evening climaxes in a massacre. And finding god may be the prelude to losing everything else. Touching, slyly comic, and humming with cerebral suspense, Snow is of immense relevance to our present moment.

Цитаты

  • Anna Shestopalцитирует7 месяцев назад
    "If God does not exist, that

    means heaven does not exist either. And that means the world's poor,

    those millions who live in poverty and oppression, will never go to

    heaven. And if that is so, then how do you explain all the suffering of the

    poor? What are we here for, and why do we put up with so much unhappiness, if it's all for nothing?"

    Head scarves protect women from harassment, rape,

    and degradation. It's the head scarf that gives women respect and a comfortable place in society. We've heard this from many women who've

    chosen later in life to cover themselves.

    And if we succeed in

    degrading our women, aren't we also running the risk of--pardon my

    language--turning ourselves into pimps?
