The Naive and the Sentimental Novelist by Orhan Pamuk
4.0
"For the past ten years I have been writing novels in order to convey the way I see life, the world, the things I have encountered, and the place where I live."
This is a collection of essays on the topic of writing, creating a novel, as well as reading and a reader's connection to the writer through his books. I don't read much non-fiction and Orhan Pamuk's writing style here is a little heavier and academic, but I quite enjoyed it. His theory on naive and sentimental writers and other thoughts presented in these essays really made me think and question my approach to books. I found some of the things that he mentioned about the structure of books and the process of writing very interesting. This was my very first book by him but I will definitely pick up one of his novels now.
