Orhan Pamuk

I have been attacked in Turkey more for my interviews than for my books. Political polemicists and columnists do not read novels there.

I don't like to make strong statements. I want to write strong novels... I keep my deep, radical things for my novels.
- Orhan Pamuk

I think less than people think I do about politics. I care about writing.
