the colour red


i am bagelgal

first i've never liked murder mysteries. never. i didn't even know it was one when i picked it up in mumbai last year. all i knew was that i had just heard that pamuk was awarded the nobel prize for literature. and i couldn't say no to the book which in india cost me only a mere 8 dollars.

no regrets.

i've never read anything quite like this before...his perspective...fresh. his posturing between east and west. remarkable.the insights he provided into turkish history, culture and art. priceless.

if you're keen on picking a book...get your hands on this one...
