Orhan Pamuk – A Life in Writing

In Conversation With Erica Wagner

Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk joins us to reveal the stories behind his creative process and his extraordinary life.

Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2006, Orhan Pamuk has moved readers across the globe with his evocative and deeply stirring works of fiction. But how did these stunning works begin and what process nurtured their completion?

Orhan Pamuk joins us in conversation to reveal his creative process and the everyday reflections that create extraordinary art. From his travels around the world to his complex relationship with his home country, from journal entries scrawled across the span of over a decade to dialogues with his imagined characters, from writer’s block to the vivid landscapes that have inspired his greatest works, Orhan joins us to explore not only his artistic method, but also how daily happenings and larger political currents have shaped his oeuvre.
