Title: Snow as "political"???
Review: I absolutely love Orhan Pamuk's work. LOVE it. And Snow is better than most other books that I've read recently. That said, Snow gets a 2 because every other Orhan Pamuk book is a better read than Snow, and they are all just as political. I find it very strange readers believe Snow is "important" & "political" when it deals with the same themes and issues that permeate all Orhan Pamuk's work: being able to truly know yourself as a Turk in the context of Western oppression and a country situated literally on the divide between east & west, europe & asia. My advice: buy a different Pamuk book, you will enjoy it much more. Then read it a second time and pay attention to identity and power issues.
Is the review positive or negative?
