Naive and Sentimental Novelist

Orhan Pamuk is a renowned Turkish writer, Nobel Prize laureate in Literature for 2006, author of books such as "My Name is Red," "Snow," "Istanbul: Memories of a City," "The Museum of Innocence," and many others.
In the book "Naive and... Sentimental Novelist," created based on his Harvard lectures, Pamuk invites the reader into the world of his favorite novels to attempt to uncover the mystery of the enduring charm of true literature. Pamuk suggests dividing writers (and readers) into two categories: "naive" (those able to immerse themselves in the text wholeheartedly, without regard for the writing technique and personality of the author) and "sentimental" (thoughtful, reflective, skeptical). "We are awaited by the writer and his characters, the concepts of fiction and plot, questions about what time is and what it means to 'see'; we will visit museums and, perhaps as happens in real novels, find ourselves in amazing places we never even imagined existed."
