'I read a book one day, and my whole life was changed.'
So begins The New Life, Orhan Pamuk's fabulous road novel about a
young student who yearns for the life promised by a dangerously
magical book. On his remarkable journey, he falls in love, abandons
his studies, turns his back on home and family, and embarks on
restless bus trips through the provinces, in pursuit of an elusive
vision. This is a wondrous odyssey, laying bare the rage of an arid
heartland, from the bestselling author of _My Name is Red_ and _Snow_.
In coffee houses with black-and-white TV sets, on buses where
passengers ride watching B-movies on flickering screens, in wrecks
along the highway, in paranoid fictions with spies as punctual as
watches, the magic of Pamuk's creation comes alive.
From a writer compared to Kafka, Nabakov, Calvino and García
Márquez, _The New Life_ documents the spiritual journey of a young
student, who leaves his family behind in the name of love, life and
literature.
