Maria F. reviewed Combines art history, philosophy and a mystery in the same novel. on 6/13/2009 + 16 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

I totally enjoyed My Name is Red written by Orhan Pamuk a Nobel Prize winning author. It is about a certain school of Turkish artists who follow the tradition of early Persian painters. It is a murder mystery and each character including the murderer, tells the story from his own point of view.Through reading it you learn about the philosophy and tradition of Turkish painters of the 16th century. I highly recommend this book especially to those who enjoy world literature or art.
