Other Colors: Essays and A Story, by Orhan Pamuk
4.0
Can you imagine how Harry felt when he fell into the pensieve and experienced Dumbledore's memories? The surreal experience of being in someone else's mind and witnessing their past like the present?
Other colours has been one such experience for me. Orhan Pamuk allows us to dwell into the deepest of his thoughts and life experiences. He carries us through his childhood, his understanding of life, and so much more. Reading this book, I felt as though I ran into an old friend and we chatted over a hot cup of Turkish coffee.
I've always know Pamuk to be a beautiful and devastating author and this personal account of his thoughts, just made him all the more admirable for me. But I also realize that this read can at times be overwheleming, and a tad bit boring for those who don't relate to his style of writing and expression
