"Not only an engrossing feat of tale-spinning, but essential reading for our times. [Pamuk is] narrating his country into being." - Margaret Atwood, The New York Times Book Review "A great and almost irresistibly beguiling . . . novelist. . . . [ Snow is] enriched by . . . mesmerizing mixes: cruelty and farce, poetry and violence, and a voice whose timbres range from a storyteller''s playfulness to the dark torment of an explorer, lost." - The New York Times "A major work . . . conscience-ridden and carefully wrought, tonic in its scope, candor, and humor . . . . with suspense at every dimpled vortex . . . . Pamuk [is Turkey's] most likely candidate for the Nobel Prize." John Updike, The New Yorker "From the Golden Horn, with a wicked grin, the political novel makes a triumphant return." - Harper's "Powerful . . . Astonishingly timely . . . A deft melding of political intrigue and philosophy, romance and noir . . . [Snow] is forever confounding our expectations." Vogue "A novel of profound relevance to the present moment. [The] debate between the forces of secularism and those of religious fanaticism . . . is conducted with subtle, painful insight into the human weakness that can underlie both impulses." The Times (London)"A work of art Alternating between the snowstorm's hush and philosophical conversations reminiscent of Dostoyevsky's great novels, Snow proves a timely and gripping read." Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Marvelous as quiet and transformative as a blizzard and as coldly beautiful." St. Petersburg Times "In Snow, Pamuk uses his powers to show us the critical dilemmas of modern Turkey. How European a country is it? How can it respond to fundamentalist Islam? And how can an artist deal with these issues? ... The author''s high artistry and fierce politics take our minds further into the age''s crisis than any commentator could. Orhan Pamuk is the sort of writer for whom the Nobel Prize was invented." Daily Telegraph "Part political thriller, part farce, Snow is [Pamuk's] most dazzling fiction yet. One of the top books of the year." Village Voice "It comes as no surprise that political prescience should be yet another of the many gifts of Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk. With Snow , Pamuk gives convincing proof that the solitary artist is a better bellwether than any televised think-tanker ... The work is a melancholy farce full of rabbit-out-of-a-hat plot twists that, despite the locale, looks uncannily like the magic lantern show of misfire, denial and pratfall that appears daily in our newspapers." Independent on Sunday "Pure magic Snow is excellent." San Francisco Chronicle "'How much can we ever know about love and pain in another's heart? How much can we hope to understand those who have suffered deeper anguish, greater deprivation and more crushing disappointments than we ourselves have known?' Such questions haunt the poet Ka . . . [in] this novel, as much about love as it is about politics." The Observer "Richly detailed . . . A thrilling plot ingeniously shaped . . . Vividly embodies and painstakingly explores the collision of Western values with Islamic fundamentalism . . . An astonishingly complex, disturbing view of a world we owe it to ourselves to better understand." Kirkus Reviews " Snow has already been a bestseller in Turkey - given Pamuk''s stature as a novelist and the novel''s content it could hardly fail to be. But what makes it a brilliant novel is its artistry. Pamuk keeps so many balls in the air that you cannot separate the inquiry into the nature of religious belief from the examination of modern Turkey, the investigation of East-West relations, and the nature of art itself ... All this rolled into a gripping political thriller." Spectator "Brilliant Pamuk writes with such grace and deep respect for his conflicted characters that this rich novel passes like a dream, encompassing every aspect of love and belief."
