Memories of Distant Mountains: Illustrated Notebooks: 2009-2022 By: Orhan Pamuk [Audiobook]

Author: Orhan Pamuk, Ekin Oklap – translator
Narrated by: Tolga Safer

The journals of the Nobel Prize-winning author, beautifully illustrated with his own paintings

For many years, Orhan Pamuk kept a record of his daily thoughts and observations, entering them in small notebooks and illustrating them with his own paintings. This book combines those notebooks into one volume. He writes about his travels around the world, his family, his writing process, and his complex relationship with his home country of Turkey. He charts the seeds of his novels and the things that inspired his characters and the plots of his stories. Intertwined in his writings are the vibrant paintings of the landscapes that surround and inspire him.

A beautiful object in its own right, in Memories of Distant Mountains listeners can explore Pamuk’s intoxicating inner world and can have a fascinating, intimate encounter with the art, culture, and charged political currents that have shaped one of literature’s most important voices.

* Thia audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF of the author’s illustrated notebook pages.
