A review by alisarae
Snow by Orhan Pamuk

I started Snow with the idea that it would follow the lines of a literary noir, but it is definitely not that. This book is a masterful reflection on the devout and the secular, the traditional and the contemporary, the East and the West. I already like books set in "crossroads" cultures, and I was pleasantly surprised by the elegant discussions and characters. I plan to read more of Orhan Pamuk's books.
