A TRANSITION NOVEL OF ORHAN PAMUK IN HIS NOVELIST CAREER: MY NAME IS RED
Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 46
Abstract
Orhan Pamuk is a writer who goes after the new and the different in his novelist adventure and is in hot pursuit of not only the agenda of Turkish literature but also the agenda of world literature. He doesn’t abstain from using different themes, techniques and wordings either in terms of content or tone in almost his every novel and attempts to fulfil the fields which he thinks of as missing in his novelist adventure. In this context, as the most colourful, amusing and syntheses work of Orhan Pamuk, My Name is Red is precursor of a new period in his novelist adventure. Because, My Name is Red, bearing a striking resemblance to the postmodern structure of The Black Book and The New Life, has a different place in Pamuk’s novelist adventure by reason of its content and being a transition to the novels written afterwards. Beside its postmodern structure, My Name is Red which embodies a detective and love-oriented story, resembles mostly to The White Castle which is again a transition period work and in which Pamuk narrates the current problems through a historical perspective. Pamuk utilizes the novel accumulation of the West and the narration tradition of the East both in his narration and tone as in the content of the work which is the product of an intense preparatory work and he reproduces the novel which is a Western art blowing an Eastern soul. The writer benefits especially from miniature craft and the chapters in which he makes the objects , animals , colours and situations etc. speak and depicts his life from their perspectives seem as significant and permanent gains not only for Turkish literature but also for world literature. Therefore; with My Name is Red, he significantly disconfirms the criticisms regarding to his approach to topics like orientalism, east-west conflict and crisis of identity. Because, My Name is Red is a work proving that the crisis of identity and eclectical mood between the East and West perceived as a problem is actually the authenticity, colourfulness and therefore the power of Turkey.
