Orhan Pamuk's novels hold particular value for those of who read international fiction in part as a way to gain some sense of the forces shaping other regions of the world. His work invariably portrays the tensions and insecurities of modern Turkey, a country caught, as he repeatedly demonstrates, between two worlds: Europe and the Middle East. "Silent House," one of Pamuk's earlier works, is no exception. This is the story of a large family, spanning three generations and is told withI don't know why I waited so long to revisit Orhan Pamuk! Both My Name is Red and Snow have stayed with me for many years. The conflicts of an extended family in Silent House mirror the political and social world of 1980 Turkey. Pamuk is especially brilliant at capturing the self-destructive psyche of the male cousins. A terrifying and sad novel.
When I first started reading Orhan Pamuk's books I really struggledand ended up abandoning Snow and My Name Is Read!!!!!!!It just seemed to complex and I couldn't follow at all really.But after reading Museum Of Innocence I really enjoyed this bookand started to feel I was understanding this great writers work.Now I have finished Silent House....which I really loved!Now I really do want to go back and read his books that i have abandoned.Silent House just captivated me!The characters were really
This book has a lot of characters to focus on which can make it tiring in the course of reading. For me, I wanted to hear more about Selahattin, his questionings and clashes and also Recep as well. The first 50 pages were more flowing for me (before the grandchildren got involved) and I found some of their personal stories uninteresting.There are memorable quotes in the book as well like theres no way to express history, or even life as it is, in words! the only solution would be to transform
I spent several weeks reading Orhan Pamuks Silent House. Pamuks books are dense and difficult, but well worth the effort, if one measures this by those aha moments occasionally triggered by great literature.Silent House is Pamuks second novel, first published in 1983. On the surface, its the story of a single family. In her second floor room, in the old house in a seaside village where she has spent her adult life, a frail ninety year old widow awaits the annual visit of her three
Pamuk has tried to explore the conflicts between religious and secular, nationalist and communist of Turkey through the story of an old lady and her grandchildren. But this work lacks the depth with which Pamuk wrote Snow thirty years later with a similar theme. Characters in Snow express opinions to explain which ideology they belong to clearly. But the people of Silent House are just blasphemous to prove their secularity.
I liked this - almost as much as "The Museum of Innocence", which is still my favorite Orhan Pamuk novel.... but it's close. ( it's a smaller book - less 'dense' than other Pamuk books I've read-- each chapter is short). Right from the start the dialogue between the cranky old grandmother and Recep - her FRICKIN SLAVE HORSE -- a Saint to boot-is a dwarf.... making the visuals of the dialogue all the more hysterically crazy-funny....( shaking your head: "you've got to be kidding"). Recep is a
