Book Of the Month
My Name Is Red
by Orhan Pamuk
In
16th-century Istanbul, master miniaturist and illuminator of books
Enishte Effendi is commissioned to illustrate a book celebrating the
sultan. Soon he lies dead at the bottom of a well, and how he got there
is the crux of this novel. A number of narrators give testimony to what
they know about the circumstances surrounding the murder. The stories
accumulate and become more detailed as the novel progresses, giving the
reader not only a nontraditional murder mystery but insight into the
mores and customs of the time. In addition, this is both an examination
of the way figurative art is viewed within Islam and a love story that
demonstrates the tricky mechanics of marriage laws. Award-winning
Turkish author Pamuk (The White Castle) creatively casts the novel with
colorful characters (including such entities as a tree and a gold coin)
and provides a palpable sense of atmosphere of the Ottoman Empire that
history and literary fans will appreciate. (From Marc Kloszewski Library
